Verse 52

2:52 Al-Baqara

ثُمَّ عَفَوْنَا عَنْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

Surah Baqarah Verse 52

☘️Despite their committing Shirk, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala forgave them. Shirk is a major sin, yet Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala forgave it. He is indeed the Most Loving and the Most Forgiving. He says that He forgave them so that they could be grateful.

☘️The meaning of laˋalla (لعل) in this particular case is kay (كي –  in order that). Despite this āyah coming regarding the mention of Banī Isrā’īl, being thankful to the Giver is obligatory on every person. 

ˋAfawnā (عفونا – We forgave) originates from al-ˋafū (العفو)

☘️Grateful for what? For forgiveness.

When Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala alleviates our pains and sorrows, then we should express our shukr. We should be grateful that He brought relief to us

We should not keep dwelling over our past and narrating stories of our affliction to others. Rather, we should now use this time in being grateful to Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and become productive. Do more good deeds.

🔮 One of the beauties of Islam is that it is never to late to ask Allah SWT for forgiveness. He is the most forgiving.
