His statement: ( and I said: ask your Lord for forgiveness, indeed He is Most Forgiving ) — he says: and I said to them: ask your Lord for the forgiveness of your sins, and turn back to Him in repentance from your unbelief and from the worship of those gods that exist besides Him, and declare Him One (tawḥīd), and devote worship purely to Him, then He will forgive you; indeed He is Most Forgiving toward the sins of whoever turns to Him and repents to Him of his sins.
