Sura 4
Aya 17
17
إِنَّمَا التَّوبَةُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لِلَّذينَ يَعمَلونَ السّوءَ بِجَهالَةٍ ثُمَّ يَتوبونَ مِن قَريبٍ فَأُولٰئِكَ يَتوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَيهِم ۗ وَكانَ اللَّهُ عَليمًا حَكيمًا

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

Allah has promised to accept the repentance of only those who commit evil deeds due to ignorance, then repent soon after. So Allah will return to such people with His Mercy and Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise.
