إِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُمْ وَعَفَا عَنْهُمْ بِفَضْلِهِ
If Allah wills, He forgives and pardons them by His grace.
Grace is Allah’s generous gift, not something a sinner can demand as an entitlement. The believer hopes in divine pardon, while still fearing accountability. Forgiveness remains dependent upon Allah’s will, so hope is not a license to disregard wrongdoing.
