As for the HOLY QURÄN, which is a book of guidance and mercy, it will never bar the gates of hope, amendment, and progress, in the people's way. Whatsoever they be, defiled by sin, and contaminated by guilt and mistakes, the book never lets them to lose hope, and abandon to despair of their Merciful Lord. Thus the verse here urges to repentance and amendment saying: ``Except those who repent and amend their evil deeds with. good ones, and those who disclosed and made clear whatever they concealed of truth; those are they to whom Allah may trun in Mercy; because Allah is Oft-Returning, Merciful.''
