_Footnotes_
- [1] Calling the people’s attention to repentance immediately after the preceding verse by itself gives the meaning, as if to say: O wicked people, why are you making yourselves still more worthy of God’s punishment by falsely accusing the true Prophet? If you desist from your misdeeds even now, and offer true repentance, Allah will forgive you. Repentance means that one should feel remorse for the evil he has done, and should refrain and desist from it in the future. Moreover, it is also an inevitable demand of true repentance that one should try his utmost to compensate for the evil he has done in the past, and wherever compensation is not possible, he should seek Allah’s forgiveness and should do more and more good to wipe off the blot from himself. But no repentance can be true repentance unless it is offered with the intention of pleasing Allah. Giving up an evil for some other reason or intention is no repentance at all.

- [1] Dönüş yapmak, Allah'a yönelmektir (Bkz. 13:30). Bağışlanmaya konu olan şeyleri terk etmektir. Yapılan kötülükten, yanlıştan, haksızlıktan, günahtan kesin olarak vazgeçmek ve yaptığını düzeltmektir. Pişmanlığın sözle ifade edilmesi tevbe değildir. Tevbe etmek, bağışlanma dilemek değildir; "bağışlanma dilemek" "istiğfar"da bulunmaktır.
