The doubtful case of another category of Muslims are illustrated here, the end of whom is not clear enough. They are not in the rank to deserve God's Mercy, and not so low as to lose hope for Salvation. They are held in suspense for the command of Allah, whether He will punish them, or turn in Mercy to them.

      Examples of them are found among those who fought against the prophet in the battle of OHUD. They martyred sincere believers and godly men, such as HAZRAT HAMZIH. But they repented after that and became Muslims, and continued with a characteristic that was perfectly general. They were not a bad Muslim henceforth. So they shall have to wait for God to judge, and issue His decree of either punishment or forgiveness in their case. There is an important question here that:- What is the difference between the sinners that are stated in this verse (NO.106), and those mentioned in verse (NO.102) of the same chapter? Both groups have sinned, and both have repented; and both parties live in hope and fear, expecting to receive God's Mercy?

      The most probable answer to this question is that, the first group (IN VERSE NO.102) confessed their sin immediately and repented soon after their wrong; but the latter group delayed their repentance and returning. Therefore, the ending of the verse (NO.102), is:ِ ``Allah is All-forgiving Compassionate,'' but the ending of the verse (NO.106) is:ِ ``Allah is, All-knowing, All-wise.''
