إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُوا۟ وَأَصْلَحُوا۟ وَبَيَّنُوا۟ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ وَأَنَا ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Except for those who repent and correct themselves and make evident [what they concealed]. Those - I will accept their repentance, and I am the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.

إلا الذين رجعوا مستغفرين الله من خطاياهم، وأصلحوا ما أفسدوه، وبَيَّنوا ما كتموه، فأولئك أقبل توبتهم وأجازيهم بالمغفرة، وأنا التواب على من تاب من عبادي، الرحيم بهم; إذ وفقتُهم للتوبة وقبلتها منهم.
