Sura 6
Aya 54
54
وَإِذا جاءَكَ الَّذينَ يُؤمِنونَ بِآياتِنا فَقُل سَلامٌ عَلَيكُم ۖ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُم عَلىٰ نَفسِهِ الرَّحمَةَ ۖ أَنَّهُ مَن عَمِلَ مِنكُم سوءًا بِجَهالَةٍ ثُمَّ تابَ مِن بَعدِهِ وَأَصلَحَ فَأَنَّهُ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

Yusuf Ali

When those come to thee who believe in Our signs, Say: “Peace be on you:1 Your Lord hath inscribed for Himself (the rule2 of) mercy: verily, if any of you did evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and amend (his conduct), lo! He is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
  • The humble who had sincere faith, were not only not sent away to humour the wealthy: they were honoured and were given a special salutation, which has become the characteristic salutation in Islam: “Peace be on you”-the word peace, “salam” having special affinity with the word “Islam.” In words they are given the salutation; in life they are promised Mercy by the special grace of God.
  • Cf. 6:12.
