Tafsir of An-Nisa' 4:110

In the sixth verse (110), we can once again see the wise way of the Qur'an at work when, in order to save sinners from total disappoint¬ment, it was said that a sin was a sin, big or small. When a sinner repents and seeks Allah's forgiveness, he finds Him forgiving, merciful. As obvious, there is an element of persuasion for those who have committed sin suggesting that they still had the time and the hope to just desist and repent sincerely; nothing is lost, Allah will forgive everything.
