What does repentance mean? Imagine one has sinned and made a mistake. Its bad effects are coming to him/her. If God wants to prevent these bad effects, He must disturb the order that exists in the world. Do you know what it means to disturb this order? An example is if they say that during the next 24 hours, gravity will be disturbed either randomly or in some disorderly pattern. No car would be able to move on the road, because people wouldn’t know when this order would be disturbed. If order is disturbed in a corner of this world, the whole world will be turned upside down. If you remove one piece of this puzzle, all of it will collapse. It’s like a domino that suddenly falls.
So what does repentance mean? We have done something that will have an effect on us. God says, “I’ll prevent that effect.” “So You’re stopping the order in the world!” God says, “I am God. I will stop the routine order in such a way that there won’t be any other disorder created in the world.” So a miracle takes place.
[Consider the Prophet] splitting the moon. Then it stuck together again. This was a miracle. This miracle of the Prophet (s) splitting the moon is an example of disorder in the world. The entire universe and the solar system should have become mixed up! But the miracle is that the moon was split into two pieces and then it stuck together again, but nothing changed. Splitting the moon only happened once, but with repentance it’s a miracle each time. God is constantly accepting our repentance and creating a miracle!
Imagine if one picks up a glass of water to drink. He’s not paying attention and he is very thirsty too. Imagine if he drinks something poisonous. They tell him, “Oh no, why did you drink that?! It was poisonous, or it contained an acid that is used for washing that place.” “Are you serious?!” How will he feel when he goes to the doctor? Firstly, he will feel bad right away. He’ll feel bad that he has drunk poison or acid. He is willing to have his stomach washed. He will beg the doctor. I think the way such a person goes pale is a little similar to Imam Ali (as) when asking for forgiveness. Imagine the way he would go pale when supplicating God. “I have oppressed myself.” [Kumayl Supplication]
“Doctor, I’ve ruined everything. I have drunk such and such poison.” Imagine if the doctors say, “We can’t do anything for you. You’ll die in five hours!” He will beg the doctor. “Doctor, do something!” Imagine if the doctor says, “I’ll put my hand on you and cure you in some extraordinary way. Rest assured.” How pleadingly he will look at the doctor. When God accepts our repentance, it’s like this. This doesn’t mean He says, “It wasn’t poisonous.” It doesn’t mean a surgery can fix you. Poison kills.
What does repentance mean? We have done something that will have an effect on us. God says, “I’ll prevent that effect.” “So You’re stopping the order in the world!” God says, “I am God. I will stop the routine order in such a way that there won’t be any other disorder created in the world.” So a miracle takes place.
