Q
What is the significance of seeking forgiveness in preventing divine punishment?
A
Abu Jahl said, “O Allah! If this (Qur’an) is indeed the Truth from You, then rain down on us a shower
of stones from the sky or bring on us a painful torment.” So Allah revealed:– “But Allah would not
punish them while you were amongst them, nor He will punish them while they seek (Allah’s)
forgiveness…” (8.33) And why Allah should not punish them while they turn away (men) from Al-
Masjid-al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque of Mecca)…” (8.33-34)
of stones from the sky or bring on us a painful torment.” So Allah revealed:– “But Allah would not
punish them while you were amongst them, nor He will punish them while they seek (Allah’s)
forgiveness…” (8.33) And why Allah should not punish them while they turn away (men) from Al-
Masjid-al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque of Mecca)…” (8.33-34)
