Here is the breakdown of these three expressions. Level 1 "I repent to Allah." أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ Atūbu ilā Allāh Word by word: أَتُوبُ (atūbu) → I repent / I turn back إِلَى (ilā) → to / toward اللَّهِ (Allāh) → Allah أَتُوبُ comes from the root ت و ب meaning to return. Repentance in Arabic is not just regret. It is a return. You are moving back toward Allah. Level 2 "Do not despair of the mercy of Allah." لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ Lā taqnaṭū min raḥmati Allāh Word by word: لَا (lā) → do not تَقْنَطُوا (taqnaṭū) → despair مِن (min) → of / from رَّحْمَةِ (raḥmati) → mercy اللَّهِ (Allāh) → Allah تَقْنَطُوا comes from the root ق ن ط meaning to lose hope completely. Allah forbids this. His mercy is vast. Level 3 "And ask forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and women." وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ Wastaghfir lidhanbika walil mu'minīna wal mu'mināt Word by word: وَاسْتَغْفِرْ (wastaghfir) → and seek forgiveness لِذَنبِكَ (lidhanbika) → for your sin وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (walil mu'minīna) → and for the believing men وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ (wal mu'mināt) → and the believing women Click the link in profile to help you understand the Quran without translation 👆
