Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Repentance as Demolition and Reconstruction Repentance in Attributes and Consequences How beautiful and deep the meaning is of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) where he quoted it from the Lord, Allah, the Great: “'There is no god but Allah '(i.e.

none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) is my fortress and whoever enters My fortress is safe against My punishment.'“[^1] If a Muslim knows the true meaning of 'There is no god but Allah' and comprehends its concepts and contents and then recognizes its impact in his life and the connection it has with his existence, surely he will understand that everything in this existence is founded on the phrase: 'There is no god but Allah' and moves towards it.

Most people, including some of those who memorize the names of Allah, blessed be His names which are considered below His attributes, and actions, who study the science of monotheism with its text and rules and speak about the vividness of the essence of Allah and abundance of His mercy and the relationship of the existence with His power ...

are unfamiliar with most facts and distinct impacts of the phrase: 'There is no god but Allah.' If the dimensions of the self are opened to these vast horizons and if intellects would comprehend what the word of monotheism carries in it of meanings and attributes concerning the Divine Self and lived under its rays and the outpouring of its lights, surely he would understand that he lived under the impacts of these attributes.

They are facts which are obvious in the world of existence and are in connection with the essence of man and his existence. He would, also, understand that every distinct Divine attribute filled a gap in the human self and, also, created hope in him. Thus, happiness would overwhelm him and he would absolutely feel the meaning of existence if he lived while seeking inspiration from its surplus and fills the gaps in his self with its impacts.

What is important, in this research, is to study repentance as an impact in our lives, occurring among the impacts of these Divine attributes. All fields of existence, including human existence, have a connection with an attribute among the Divine attributes. Whatever exists in this universe like might, wisdom, science, justice, mercy, kindness, power...etc.
