And do you (now from whom !e "on"ealed them*!e "on"ealed them from the angels. Yes, and from theland andfrom everything that witnessed that disobedien"e or

sin. o the sin nolonger e-ists and no longer has an ee"t, as if nothingever happened. 'he Angel who wrote them+ Allah made him forgetwhat he wrote. Yes, and the land and everything.

 'hose who are ignorant of the truth say that the guiltydeeds and

sins are forgiven by Allah, but their ee"ts remain.And those people give an e-ample of the self to beli(e a pie"e of wood and the guilty deeds to be li(enails whi"h were pounded into the wood, and they saythat if the nails were pulled out, their ee"ts wouldremain. o they see that if the guilty deeds areforgiven, their ee"ts stay.

1ingdom of !eavens in the fa"e of the penitents* 'heone who pounded the nails into the wood is not thereator of the wood so that he would be able torestore it as it was, whereas the One who forgives theguilty deeds, !e is Allah who "reated the soul and !eis "apable of everything.

!e is "apable of restoring the soul as it was./f a servant repents to Allah, Allah ma(es the writingangels forgetwhat they wrote, and !e ma(es the land in whi"h the

servant "ommitted disobedien"e forget what itwitnessed. And !e lifts every tra"e of the guilt fromthe servant3s soul, the servant who is sin"ere in hisrepentan"e. Yes, he returns li(e the day his mother bore him, apure nature. )o guilt. )o tra"e. )one who remember.

 Yes, from the favor of Allah, Allah (eeps the servant

rememberinghis guilt, not in order to spea( of it, be"ause Allah isnot satis4ed withthis either, but rather so that he would not return to it,and so that he"onstantly feels the pain of the disobedien"e by theobedien"e, and hetherefore as"ends by his pain.
