The Family Of Imran - 3:16
"They who say: "Our Lord, we have believed, forgive us our sins and protect us from the torment of Hell"."
The believers avoid major sins and do not persist in sin:
The Family Of Imran/3:135
Those who, when they commit a sin or wrong themselves, remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins. Who can forgive sins except Allah? And they do not go on sinning knowingly.
وَالَّذ۪ينَ اِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً اَوْ ظَلَمُٓوا اَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللّٰهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْۖ وَمَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُۖ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلٰى مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
The Prophets/21:87
"And ZanNun (i.e. Jonah, whose name has the letter ´Nun´ in it)... He left his post in protest. He thought that We could not control him. Finally, in the darkness (in the belly of the fish) he said, "There is no god but You. You are almighty. I have done wrong,"he pleaded."
وَذَا النُّونِ اِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغَاضِباً فَظَنَّ اَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادٰى فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ اَنْ لَٓا اِلٰهَ اِلَّٓا اَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَۗ اِنّ۪ي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِم۪ينَۚ
The Prophets/21:88
We responded to his supplication and delivered him from sorrow. This is how We deliver those who believe.
فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۙ وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّۜ وَكَذٰلِكَ نُنْجِي الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ
The Stories/28:15
"He entered the city while his people were unaware. He saw two men fighting there, one from his side (Hebrew) and the other from the enemy´s side (Egyptian). The man from his side asked him for help against his enemy. So Moses struck the other with a blow and finished him off. He said, "This is the work of Satan; he is an enemy, a clear misleader."
وَدَخَلَ الْمَد۪ينَةَ عَلٰى ح۪ينِ غَفْلَةٍ مِنْ اَهْلِهَا فَوَجَدَ ف۪يهَا رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتَتِلَانِۘ هٰذَا مِنْ ش۪يعَتِه۪ وَهٰذَا مِنْ عَدُوِّه۪ۚ فَاسْتَغَاثَهُ الَّذ۪ي مِنْ ش۪يعَتِه۪ عَلَى الَّذ۪ي مِنْ عَدُوِّه۪ۙ فَوَكَزَهُ مُوسٰى فَقَضٰى عَلَيْهِۘ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ عَمَلِ الشَّيْطَانِۜ اِنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ مُضِلٌّ مُب۪ينٌ
The Stories/28:16
"My Lord,"he said, "I have wronged myself, forgive me."And He forgave him. For He is Forgiving, Merciful."
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنّ۪ي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْس۪ي فَاغْفِرْ ل۪ي فَغَفَرَ لَهُۜ اِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّح۪يمُ
The Stories/28:17
"My Lord,"he said, "I will not help the guilty henceforth in return for the Blessing You have bestowed upon me."
قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَٓا اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَلَنْ اَكُونَ ظَه۪يراً لِلْمُجْرِم۪ينَ
Council/42:37
Those who avoid the great sins and the ugly deeds and forgive when they are angry.
وَالَّذ۪ينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَـبَٓائِرَ الْاِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ وَاِذَا مَا غَضِبُوا هُمْ يَغْفِرُونَۚ
The Star/53:32
They avoid the great sins and evil deeds and commit only minor offenses. The forgiveness of your Lord is great. He knows you well when He created you from dust and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not justify yourselves. He knows well the righteous.
اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَـبَٓائِرَ الْاِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ اِلَّا اللَّمَمَۜ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَاسِعُ الْمَغْفِرَةِۜ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ اِذْ اَنْشَاَكُمْ مِنَ الْاَرْضِ وَاِذْ اَنْتُمْ اَجِنَّةٌ ف۪ي بُطُونِ اُمَّهَاتِكُمْۚ فَلَا تُزَكُّٓوا اَنْفُسَكُمْۜ هُوَ اَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اتَّقٰى۟
The Light/24:17
Allah admonishes you so that you may not repeat the like. If you are believers.
يَعِظُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ تَعُودُوا لِمِثْلِه۪ٓ اَبَداً اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِن۪ينَۚ
The Women/4:31
If you avoid the great prohibitions, We will cover your sins and admit you with an honorable entrance.
اِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَـبَٓائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُمْ مُدْخَلاً كَر۪يماً
The Criterion/25:67
They are neither extravagant nor stingy in their giving, but spend in balance between the two.
وَالَّذ۪ينَ اِذَٓا اَنْفَقُوا لَمْ يُسْرِفُوا وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا وَكَانَ بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ قَوَاماً
The Criterion/25:68
They do not invoke other gods along with Allah; they do not kill unjustly the life which Allah has forbidden, nor do they commit adultery. He who commits these things pays for his sins.
وَالَّذ۪ينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللّٰهِ اِلٰهاً اٰخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّت۪ي حَرَّمَ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَۚ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ يَلْقَ اَثَاماًۙ
The Criterion/25:69
On the Day of Resurrection their punishment will be multiplied, and they will abide therein forever, despised
يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ ف۪يه۪۫ مُهَاناًۗ
The Criterion/25:70
Except those who believe and lead a virtuous life. Allah turns their sins into good deeds. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلاً صَالِحاً فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللّٰهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوراً رَح۪يماً
