** 002:161: One’s resolve to be repentant essentially requires that it be followed by his actual action of amending his prior practices. That is why the word تَابُوۡا (taa-boo) meaning they repented has been followed by the word اَصۡلَحُوۡا (us-la-hoo) meaning they made amends; see Note 002:038.
This combination of a resolve followed by a congruent action has been repeated in the Holy Qor-aan several times such as 002:161, 005:040,
