Do Not Despair

Best Book of 2016 - God forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful. The address here is to all mankind. God Himself has explained in the following verses that sins are forgiven only when the sinner turns to God's worship and service and adopts obedience to the message sent down by Him. As a matter of fact, this verse brought a message of hope for those people who had committed mortal sins like murder, adultery, theft, robbery, etc. in the days of ignorance, and had despaired whether they would ever be forgiven. To them it has been said: Do not despair of God's mercy: whatever you might have done in the past, if you sincerely turn to your Lord's obedience, you will be forgiven every sin.
