Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 89
89. " Except those who repent after that and amend, then verily Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."
This verse opens the way of returning to such people to pave it if they wish. It lets them repent, because the aim of the Qur'an, thoroughly, is improvement and training. It says:
It is understood from this meaning that corruption creates loss in one's Faith so that the one, after repenting, should renew his Faith in a manner that this defect be wiped out.
