Chapter 39, Page 465, Juz 24

53. Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." 54. And return [in repentance] to your Lord and submit to Him before the punishment comes upon you; then you will not be helped. 55. And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān] before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive, 56. Lest a soul should say, "Oh, [how great is] my regret over what I neglected in regard to Allāh and that I was among the mockers." 57. Or [lest] it say, "If only Allāh had guided me, I would have been among the righteous." 58. Or [lest] it say when it sees the punishment, "If only I had another turn so I could be among the doers of good." 59. But yes, there had come to you My verses, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers. 60. And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about Allāh [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant? 61. And Allāh will save those who feared Him by their attainment; no evil will touch them, nor will they grieve. 62. Allāh is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs. 63. To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allāh - it is those who are the losers.
