LessonsSharing Hardship, Guarding the Tongue, and Patience During Harm (Accounts 15–17)Quiz

وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ
“Weep over your wrong.”

This wording teaches that sins should not be treated lightly and that genuine remorse matters. Its essential message is regret and returning to what is right; producing visible tears is not the sole measure of repentance.

Practical repentance involves stopping the wrong, regretting it, intending not to repeat it, and repairing another person's violated right where applicable. Paying attention to one’s own faults directs energy toward reform rather than looking down on others.

For example, after spreading an inaccurate statement about someone, regret alone is inadequate. A person should also correct the claim and address the harm where possible.
