| so, by that mercy from Allah (SWT) you dealt gently with them | فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللهِ لِنْتَ لَهُمْ | |
| and had you been rude and harsh hearted surely, they would disperse from around you | وَلَوْ كُنْتَ فَظًّا غَلِيْظَ القَلْبِ لَانْفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ | |
| then pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter | فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِيْ الأَمْرِ | |
| then when you have decided then place your trust in Allah (SWT) | فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللهِ | |
| 3-159 | Surely, Allah (SWT) loves the ones who place trust (in Him) | إِنَّ اللهَ يُحِبُّ المُتَوَكِّلِيْنَ |
| 4-106 | and seek forgiveness of Allah (SWT) truly Allah (SWT) is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Mercfiful | وَاسْتَغْفِرِ اللهَ إِنَّ اللهَ كَانَ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا |
| Ask forgiveness for them or don’t ask forgiveness for them, if you ask forgiveness for them seventy times | اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِيْنَ مَرَّةً | |
| not will Allah (SWT) forgive them, that is because they disbelieved in Allah (SWT) and His Messenger | فَلَن يَغْفِرَ اللهُ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللهِ وَرَسُوْلِهِ | |
