Opening the ayah…
وَيُذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِهِمْ ۗ وَيَتُوبُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
Wa yudh'hib' ghay'ẓa qulūbihim' . wayatūbu -llahu ʻalā man yashā'u . wa-llahu ʻalīmun ḥakīmun
And still the indignation of their hearts. For Allah will turn (in mercy) to whom He will; and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
