c. I have been assigned to you as a Clear Warner and my message is simple to understand and easy to follow.
71:03
a. The message is:
b. ‘Submit in worship and reverence to Allah alone, and
c. fear HIS disobedience and be reverent to HIM,
d. and, thus, follow me’ in guidance.
71:04
a. By so doing, ‘HE will be forgiving some of your past sinful offenses, and grant you respite till an appointed time - the time of death – instead of destroying you immediately.

71:07

thus grant forgiveness to them,
