Sura 42
Aya 37
37
وَالَّذينَ يَجتَنِبونَ كَبائِرَ الإِثمِ وَالفَواحِشَ وَإِذا ما غَضِبوا هُم يَغفِرونَ

Yusuf Ali

Those who avoid the greater1 crimes and shameful deeds, and, when they are angry even then forgive;
  • Here we are speaking of the ordinary man or woman who tries to follow God’s Law: he or she is not perfect, but at least eschews the major breaches of conduct. For those higher in spiritual degree there is of course a stricter standard. But all are entitled to the blessing of Islam, whatever their degree.
