If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance into Paradise.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Balance of Forgiveness: Avoiding major sins leads to forgiveness of minor ones.

The Insight

If you avoid the major sins, God will forgive your minor ones and admit you into a noble entrance. **Focus on the big battles.** Concentrate your moral energy on avoiding the major prohibitions (murder, Riba, great injustice). Success in avoiding the grave sins earns pardon for the smaller, unintentional mistakes.
