بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

40.7-9

اَلَّذِیْنَ یَحْمِلُوْنَ الْعَرْشَ وَ مَنْ حَوْلَهٗ یُسَبِّحُوْنَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِهٖ وَ یَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ لِلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْاۚ-رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَیْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَّ عِلْمًا فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِیْنَ تَابُوْا وَ اتَّبَعُوْا سَبِیْلَكَ وَ قِهِمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِیْمِ(7) رَبَّنَا وَ اَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنّٰتِ عَدْنِ ﹰالَّتِیْ وَعَدْتَّهُمْ وَ مَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ اٰبَآىٕهِمْ وَ اَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَ ذُرِّیّٰتِهِمْؕ-اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُۙ (8) وَ قِهِمُ السَّیِّاٰتِؕ-وَ مَنْ تَقِ السَّیِّاٰتِ یَوْمَىٕذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهٗؕ-وَ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِیْمُ۠ (9)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

Those (angels) who carry the Throne and those who are around it proclaim the Purity of their Lord while praising Him, and they believe in Him and seek forgiveness for the believers; (saying) 'O our Lord, everything is encompassed by Your Mercy and Knowledge, therefore forgive those who repented and followed Your path, and save them from the punishment of Hell.' 'O our Lord, and admit them into the Gardens of dwelling which you have promised them, and (as well as) those who are virtuous amongst their forefathers, and their wives, and their offspring. Indeed, only You are the Most Honourable, the Wise.' 'And save them from the evil consequences of sins; and whomever You save from the evil consequences of sins on that Day, so You indeed had mercy upon him; and only this is the great success.'

Commentary

The intercession of the angels is true. Even today, they supplicate for the forgiveness of the believers. Hence, to pray for Muslims in their absence and without greed for anything in return is the way of the angels and a way to please Allah Almighty. One should try to act upon this.

An individual’s sincere repentance also benefits his parents, spouse, and children. It is narrated from Sayyidunā Saʿīd ibn Jubayr رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ that when a believer will enter Paradise, he will ask: “Where is my father? Where is my mother? Where are my children? Where is my wife?” He will be informed that unlike him, they did not perform good actions, which is why they are not here. That heavenly individual will reply: “I used to perform [good] actions for myself and for them.” Thereafter, the command will be given to admit them into Paradise as well. (Tafsīr Al-Baghawī, under the verse no.8 of Surah Al-Mu’min, vol. 4, p. 82)

True success is for one’s sins to be forgiven on the Day of Judgement and to be saved from the punishment of Hell.
