14. And He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Loving [9].

[9] That is, even among such criminals, if anyone repents from his sins, Allah is Forgiving. Furthermore, Allah has immense love for His creation. He does not subject anyone to punishment without reason. He only punishes when a person, despite repeated warnings, does not refrain from rebellion and defiance against Allah.
