Surah Al-A'raf 7:149
وَلَـمَّا سُقِطَ فِىۡۤ اَيۡدِيۡهِمۡ وَرَاَوۡا اَنَّهُمۡ قَدۡ ضَلُّوۡا ۙ قَالُوۡا لَٮِٕنۡ لَّمۡ يَرۡحَمۡنَا رَبُّنَا وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَـنَا لَنَكُوۡنَنَّ مِنَ الۡخٰسِرِيۡنَ‏  ۝
Walamma suqita fee aydeehimwaraaw annahum qad dalloo qaloo la-in lam yarhamnarabbuna wayaghfir lana lanakoonanna mina alkhasireen
And when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, "If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers."

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Immediate Regret: Their repentance after realizing their error.

The Insight

When the calf-worshippers realized their immense error and shame, they immediately regretted it and sought God's forgiveness. **Let shame motivate return.** Shame is a sign of spiritual health. Use the immediate sting of regret to motivate sincere and lasting repentance.
