Forgiveness
Mercy, repentance, and the release of wrongs across sacred texts.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
“Transgressions between a person and God, the Day of Atonement atones for them, but transgressions between people are not atoned until forgiveness is granted.”
“Say, O My servants who have transgressed against their souls, do not despair of the mercy of Allah, for Allah forgives all sins.”
“One should not neglect one's own welfare for the sake of another, however great. Knowing one's own welfare well, one should be intent on one's goal.”
Path toward releasing resentment and attaining peace
“By Guru's grace, the God within purifies one; all past deeds are washed away when the soul truly repents.”
“Through sincere repentance and confession of one's faults, the soul can be purified and karmic bonds released.”
“Repentance is the path by which one rectifies the soul and returns to union with the divine source.”
