Allah indeed does what He pleases.
Allah indeed does what He pleases.” (Holy Qur’an, 22:14) The repentance from the Almighty Allah on His servants means: The acceptance of man's apology and the removing of the results which may occur upon him genetically and penalty. The Most High says: “... Surely good deeds tab away evil deeds.
This a reminder for the mindful.” (Holy Qur’an, 11:114) Among the system of soul and behaviour, which the Almighty Allah has made, is that the will of good and behavioral extension are able in the factual world of existence, to eliminate that which what was caused by the will of evil and manifest it in the outside world with His leave and will.
According to the logic of constitutional existence, without the Almighty Allah's legislation through His Mercy and Kindness, there would be no repentance, and man's bearing the results of his deeds would be in harmony with the rules of justice even in the case of man's regretting or asking forgiveness or repentance. How beautifully Imam Ali bin Al-Hussein (a.s.) describes this idea, in detail, in one of his supplications: “...
he does not deny Your Justice, O Lord, if You punish him, He deems not Your Forgiveness too great, if You forgive him and pity him for verily You, the Gracious Master, Who does not deem it difficult to forgive great sins ...” [^2] And, also, he (a.s.) say: “...I could not deserve, thereby, the obliteration of a single sin out of all my sins!
And if You were to forgive me when I should deserve Your Forgiveness and pardon me when I should merit Your Pardon, verily it would not be due to me on account of merit, nor do I deserve it on account of worth for my recompense from You, for the first thing wherein I disobeyed You, was Hell Fire.
So, if You chastise me, You would not be unjust to me.” [^3] This is a fact attained by modern research and scientific studies and, in which, it is proved that every deed made by man or others, leaves traces and distinguishable movements which are continually repeated in this universe, as long as it exists, because this universe acts like a recorder; recording every deed and movement.
The Holy Qur'an records this fact, which is connected with the universal existence, by saying: “And the book is placed, and you see the guilty fearing for what is in it, and they say: O woe to us! What a book is this! It leaves out neither a small thing nor a great one, but numbers them (all), and they find what they did confronting them.
