8:29
يِا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ إَن تَتَّقُواْ اللّهَ يَجْعَل لَّكُمْ فُرْقَاناً وَيُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَاللّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo in tattaqoo Allaha yajAAal lakum furqanan wayukaffir AAankum sayyiatikum wayaghfir lakum waAllahu thoo alfadli alAAatheemi
O you who attained faith if you act consciously of Allah then He will make for you a differentiator and atones for you your sins and protectively cover you. And Allah is the one with the great favor.
The Aya brings about a very important theme and that is if we work and act while conscious of Allah then Allah will help us get guided to the right decisions and this will make us move in greater consciousness of Allah and that in turn will give us more insight and wisdom in making decision in a process that is self-propagating and self-sustaining and that ends in the faithful the strongest possible relationship with Allah and that is the point about Iman. May Allah increase our Iman and help us in all those steps that bring us closer to Him always.
