Transliteration:( Wa innee la Ghaffaarul liman taaba wa aamana wa 'amila saalihan summah tadaa )
And indeed, I am the most forgiving to him who repented [110] and believed and did good deeds, then remained on guidance. [111]
Allah declares His immense forgiveness, but it is conditional upon sincere and complete repentance:
Repentance from disbelief by embracing true faith.
Repentance from sins by seeking forgiveness and abstaining.
Repentance for violating human rights by fulfilling those rights or compensating the wronged party, even if delayed.
This illustrates that true repentance is tailored to the nature of one’s sin.
According to Hazrat Thabit Bannani and Imam Jafar Saadiq (may Allah be pleased with them), true guidance is tied to love for the family of the Holy Prophet ﷺ (Ahle Bait) (Siwaiq-e-Muharriqa).
Thus, faith and repentance are only meaningful if they lead to a steadfast and guided life, ending in success.
Just as a crop is only called good if it yields a fruitful harvest, so too is faith measured by its conclusion.
