وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَءَامَنُوا۟ بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍۢ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۙ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ وَأَصْلَحَ بَالَهُمْ

اور جو ایمان لائے اور نیک عمل کرتے رہے اور جو (کتاب) محمدﷺ پر نازل ہوئی اسے مانتے رہے اور وہ ان کے پروردگار کی طرف سے برحق ہے ان سے ان کے گناہ دور کردیئے اور ان کی حالت سنوار دی

And those who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from their Lord - He riddeth them of their ill-deeds and improveth their state.
