Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Then lo! thy Lord - for those who do evil in ignorance and afterward repent and amend - lo! (for them) thy Lord is afterward indeed Forgiving, Merciful.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

But verily thy Lord,- to those who do wrong in ignorance, but who thereafter repent and make amends,- thy Lord, after all this, is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم أخبر تعالى تكرما وامتنانا في حق العصاة المؤمنين أن من تاب منهم إليه تاب عليه فقال "ثم إن ربك للذين عملوا السوء بجهالة" قال بعض السلف كل من عصى الله فهو جاهل "ثم تابوا من بعد ذلك وأصلحوا" أي أقلعوا عما كانوا فيه من المعاصي وأقبلوا على فعل الطاعات "إن ربك من بعدها" أي تلك الفعلة والزلة "لغفور رحيم".
