Commentary
True knowledge is a means of getting rid of the mistakes and sins committed in the previous days of life, and knowledge urges for repentance and to seek forgiveness by creating fear of Allāh regarding one's evil deeds; repenting and seeking forgiveness is a channel of pardon and forgiveness for all types of sins.
