"Taubah" (repentance): its meaning
The word โTaubahโ literally means โturning backโ. Since, sin puts distance between the soul and Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ู ุชุนุงูู, during repentance the servant turns back to Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ู ุชุนุงูู, seeking refuge in His forgiveness. And when a soul repents and returns to Him, Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ู ุชุนุงูู turns back to His servant in acceptance and forgiveness. Thus Allah ุณุจุญุงูู ู ุชุนุงูู has named Himself โat-Tawwaabโ, the constant Acceptor of Repentance and sometimes translated as โthe Oft-Returningโ.
