آية: 149

إِن تُبۡدُواْ خَيۡرًا أَوۡ تُخۡفُوهُ أَوۡ تَعۡفُواْ عَن سُوٓءٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَفُوّٗا قَدِيرًا

(149) Whether you declare what is good or conceal it, or pardon an evil, then Allah is All-Pardoning, Most Able^[1045].

[1045] This is mainly addressed to the one who is wronged (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr). This is a very subtle call for them to have good things topmost in their minds and to think positively. For this reason ‘good’ is brought to the foreground and ‘evil’ is relegated to the background. Although the previous aya only talks of ‘evil’; a change of perspective is much needed in situations where emotions run high. What is more, people are encouraged to pardon an injury and remember that God, Who is Most Able to punish a wrong done towards Him, is also All-Pardoning.
