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 punishment.” So there was revealed:– ‘But Allah
would not punish them while you (Muhammad) were amongst them, nor will He punish them while
they seek (Allah’s) Forgiveness. And why Allah should not punish them while they stop (men) from
Al-Masjid-al-Haram ..’ (8.33-34)
of stones from the sky or bring on us a painful punishment.” So there was revealed:– ‘But Allah
would not punish them while you (Muhammad) were amongst them, nor will He punish them while
they seek (Allah’s) Forgiveness. And why Allah should not punish them while they stop (men) from
Al-Masjid-al-Haram ..’ (8.33-34)
