Never lose hope in the mercy of Allah Quran verse

The verse is in Surah Al-zumur 39 Verse 53 where Allah the Almighty warned those Who transgressed against themselves not to lose hope of His mercy.

Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.” [Qur’an – 39:53]

The primary attribute of Allah in the Holy Quran is Mercy (Rahma). Synonyms of mercy include: compassion, forgiveness, kindliness, leniency, gentleness, and goodwill.

Therefore this verse emphasizes that Allah is forgiving and merciful, and that no one should despair of His mercy, regardless of how many sins they have committed, because Allah's mercy is limitless, so don't limit yourselves in seeking it.

The verse also encourages believers to turn to Allah in repentance and seek His forgiveness, assuring them that He will forgive all sins.

Pay attention to the words “all sins”; this really does mean “all”. So long as you do not die upon shirk (associating partners with Allah) then your ticket to Jannah will always be available. In this verse, Allah has also forbidden us from losing hope in Him; how beautiful is this?

No matter what your situation is right now, whether you are super pious or are drowning in a pool of sins, never stop drawing towards your Maker, even if it’s by just one baby-step at a time. His door is always open for you; just take those first steps.

If you’re still in any doubt as to whether or not Allah loves you by now, I’ll leave you with this beautiful Hadith Qudsi:

Allah the most High said:

“I am as my servant thinks I am. I am with him when he mentions Me. If he mentions Me to himself, I mention him to Myself and if he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly greater than it. 

If he draws near to Me a hand’s length, I draw near to him an arm’s length. And if he comes to Me walking I go to him at speed.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari].
