... I am Ever-Forgiving to anyone who repents, has faith, acts rightly, and then is guided. (The Quran, 20:82)
If God were to take mankind to task for what they have earned, He would not leave a single creature crawling on it; but He defers them until a specified time. Then, when their time comes, God sees His servants! (The Quran, 35:45)
O, happy the soul that saw its own faults,
and if anyone mentioned a fault,
wished eagerly to take responsibility -
for half of each person
has always belonged to the realm of fault,
but the other half belongs
to the Realm of the Unseen.
- Rumi, Mathnawi II:3-34-3035, tr. Helminski
