Vertaling van de betekenissen Vers 97 Surah Soerat Joesoef (Jozef) - Engelse Vertaling - Dr. Walid Bleyhesh Al-Omari - The Heilige Qur'an Encyclopedie

Vers: 97

قَالُواْ يَٰٓأَبَانَا ٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا خَٰطِـِٔينَ

(97) They said: “O father, seek forgiveness for our sins^[2822] on behalf of us; we were indeed wrongful!”

[2822] This unequivocal admission of guilt and along with their admitting of Joseph’s (عليه السلام) favouring over them show that they sincerely wanted to come clean and repent (cf. al-Biqāʿī, Naẓm al-Durar), hence turning a new page.
