Means of expiating sin

O you who believe, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied. And fear Allah, so that you may succeed,

and fear the Fire prepared for the disbelievers.

And obey Allah and the Messenger, so that you may be given mercy.

And hasten towards forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous,

those who spend in times of prosperity and adversity, and who restrain their anger and pardon people; for Allah loves those who do good.

And those who, when they commit a shameful act or wrong themselves, remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins – who can forgive sins except Allah? – and they do not persist in what they did knowingly.

Their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens under which rivers flow, abiding therein forever. How excellent is the reward of those who do [righteous] deeds!

There were nations that passed before you; so travel through the land and see how was the end of the deniers.

This is an exhortation for mankind; a guidance and admonition for the righteous.
