Allah Atones For Muslims

In the Bible, priests make atonement for the Israelites. See especially Hebrews 2:17. In quran, Allah atones for Muslims.

S 2:271 If you reveal the charities then it was excellent. And if you conceal them and give them to the poor then it is better for you. And he atones for you of your evil deeds. And Allah is an expert in what you do.

S 3:193 Our lord, we have heard a caller calling to the faith: Believe in your lord. So we have believed. Our lord, so forgive us our sins and atone for us our evil deeds and cause us to die with the pious.

S 3:195 Then their lord responded to them: I do not waste a deed of a worker among you, of male or female, one another’s. So those who emigrated and were expelled from their homes and were harmed in my way and fought and were killed, I will atone for them their evil deeds and admit them to jannat, rivers running beneath them. A reward from Allah. And Allah, with him is the best reward.

S 4:31  If you avoid major things of what you are forbidden we atone for you your evil deeds and admit you to an honoured entrance.

S 5:12 And Allah took a covenant of the Banu Isra’il and we raised among them 12 captains. And Allah said: I am with you if you establish salat and give the zakat and believe in my messengers and honour them and give Allah a good loan. I will atone for your evil deeds and admit you to jannat, rivers running beneath them. But he who has disbelieved after that among you, he has strayed from the evenness of the way.

S 5:65  And had the People of the Book believed and feared we would have atoned for their evil deeds and admitted them to the jannat of bliss.

People of the Book

S 8:29 Those who have believed, if you fear Allah he will make a furqan for you and atone your evil deeds for you and forgive you. And Allah is the possessor of the great favour.

If 'the Furqan' is quran, would Allah make a quran for them?

The Furqan

S 29:7 And those who have believed and have done the righteous deeds, we will atone for them their evil deeds and recompense them with the best of that which they used to do.

S 39:35 That Allah may atone for them the most evil of that which they did and recompense them with their wage for the best of that which they used to do.

Allah would atone for them the most evil of what they did, but not all of it.

S 47:2 And those who have believed and have done the righteous deeds and have believed in what has been sent down upon Muhammad, and it is the truth from their lord, he has atoned for them their evil deeds and has improved their mindfulness.

S 48:5 That he may admit the believing men and the believing women to jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein indefinitely, and atone for them their evil deeds, and that was with Allah a great win.

'Great win' in other passages is applied to Muslims' gaining the Jannah. In one passage Allah wants the hereafter.

The Rivers of the Jannah

Who Wants the Hereafter?

S 64:9 On a day he gathers you for the day of gathering, that is the day of taghabun. And he who believes in Allah and does a righteous deed he atones for him his evil deeds and admits him to jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein forever. That is the great win.

S 65:5 That is Allah’s command which he has sent down to you. And he who fears Allah, he atones for him his evil deeds and makes his wage great for him.

S 66:8 Those who have believed, repent to Allah in sincere repentance. Perhaps your lord will atone for you your evil deeds and admit you to jannat, rivers running beneath them, on a day Allah does not disgrace the prophet and those who have believed with him. Their light strives between their hands and in their right hands. They say: Our lord, perfect our light for us and forgive us. You are mighty over everything.
