My dear brother, According to the Islamic faith, and particularly the Hanafi-Maturidi school of thought, the answer to this question lies at the intersection of Allah's absolute will and His infinite wisdom. Allah the Almighty is the owner of absolute dominion and has the authority to forgive whom He wills. This truth is expressed in the Holy Quran as follows: "To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." (Al-Imran, 129) However, Allah's "will" is not an arbitrary choice, but rather based on His infinite wisdom (doing everything in its proper place). Allah makes the sincere repentance, remorse, and good deeds of His servant a means for forgiveness. That is, the servant "requests" forgiveness through repentance and faith, and Allah, with His grace, "wills" to forgive him. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said in a noble hadith: "None of you will enter Paradise by his deeds alone." They asked, "Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Not even me, unless Allah envelops me in His mercy." (Muslim, Munafiqun, 71) In summary; no one can claim a right over Allah by saying, "I deserve this." Forgiveness is a grace and a will from Allah. However, Allah has shown us the way to attain this will by promising to forgive those who sincerely repent and obey His commands. May Allah envelop us among those whom He encompasses with His mercy.
