The Holy Qor-aan 004:065
وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ رَّسُوۡلٍ اِلَّا لِـيُـطَاعَ بِاِذۡنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَلَوۡ اَنَّهُمۡ اِذْ ظَّلَمُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ جَآءُوۡكَ فَاسۡتَغۡفَرُوا اللّٰهَ وَاسۡتَغۡفَرَ لَـهُمُ الرَّسُوۡلُ لَوَجَدُوا اللّٰهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيۡمًا
Wa maa aur-saul-naa min ra-soo-lin
Il-laa lay yo-taa-aa bay iz-nay il-laa-hay
Wa lao un-na hoom iz za-la-moo aun-fo-sa hoom jaa-oo ka
Faus-taugh-fa-roo l-laa-ha wa us-taugh-fa-ra la ho-mo or-ra-soo-lo
La wa-ja-doo l-laa-ha tauw-waa-ba ur-ra-he-maa
And We never sent any of messengers
Except for being followed with Allah’s Master Plan.
And if when they wronged themselves surely came to you
And then sought forgiveness of Allah
And the Messenger sought forgiveness for them
They surely would have found Allah Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
