Translation of the verse 71 from Surah Al-Furqan : Number of verses 77 - - page 366 - Part 19.
And whosoever repents and does righteous good deeds, then verily, he repents towards Allah with true repentance.
And he who repents and does righteousness does indeed turn to Allah with [accepted] repentance.
(25:71) In fact, the one *87 who repents and does righteous deeds, returns to Allah as one ightly should. *88 -
*87) It has two meanings: (1) When he has repented sincerely, he will start a new life of belief and obedience to Allah and by His grace and help will start doing good deeds instead of evil deeds that he used to do in his life of unbelief, and his evil deeds will be replaced by good deeds; and (2) Not only will his evil deeds done in the past be written off, but it will also be recorded in his conduct register that he was the servant who gave up rebellion against his Lord and adopted the way of His obedience. Then, as he will feel more and more sorry for his past sins and offer repentance, more and more good deeds will be credited to him; for repenting of one's wrong doing and seeking forgiveness is in itself a good deed. Thus, good deeds will supersede all his evil deeds in his conduct register, and he will not only escape punishment in the Hereafter but, in addition, he will also be blessed with high favours by Allah.
*88) That is. ultimately everyone has to return to AIIah for AIIah alone is man's last and real refuge: He alone can reward one for his good deeds or punish une for his evil deeds: He alone is All-Merciful and AlI Compassionate, Who receives the penitent with forgiveness and Who dces not rebuke him for his past errors provided that he has repented sincerely, and adopted the right attitude and reformed himself.
