Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Repentance: The Cradle of Mercy Summary We have discussed in the previous pages some of the bad morals and not all of them. In fact what we have mentioned is some examples of those vices that sometimes make man lose this life and suffer in the afterlife. If man’s inward is polluted with the other part of vices, he will be changed into the worst of beasts and he will be resurrected on the day of resurrection with this animal morals.

these vices are; imitating the foreigners, keeping on ignorance, corruption in generation and corruption in economics, heresy, pride, laziness and weakness, thieving, murdering, prohibited imitation, suspecting the others, scrupling, meanness and lowness, causing sedition, talebearing, polytheism, wide expectations, recklessly hastiness, hard-Heartedness, stubbornness, vain arguing, singing, disagreement and separation, hatred, bad fanaticism, greediness, spying on the defects of people, stinginess, adultery, envy, being undutiful to one’s parents, wife, children and other people...etc.

If we want to discuss all these subjects in details by the help of the Qur’anic verses and noble traditions, we will need to write several books and volumes. These items must be understood in full by reviewing the interpretations of the Qur'an and the famous books of Hadith and ethics. In this chapter we try to review in a hurry the previous subjects and matters to end our research with them.

In one of the chapters of this book we have talked about the material and moral blessings which Allah has granted to man and then the ground has been prepared for man to make use of these divine blessings and gifts in the way of obedience and worship. We have seen that sins, crimes and disobediences are the results of using these divine blessings and gift sin ways other than what Allah has created them for.

Using these blessings in away other than what Allah has determined leads man towards deviation and then he goes away from his Merciful Creator. In a nother place, we have discussed the fact of repentance and turning to Allah and said that repentance and turning to Allah are to put the divine blessings and gifts in their actual ways as Allah has determined.

In other words, repentance is regretting on the one hand and repairing what has been destroyed before on the other hand and on a third hand to turn towards the future and to walk in the way of reforming oneself and the others.
