The status is that repentance requires the completion of all deeds, with no part of them being neglected.

Human Action: 17 Among the most important issues addressed by the Islamists and theologians is the issue of human action. The focus of research on this issue is whether humans act out of their own ability and choice, or if they act out of a preordained divine decree that guides them on a path where they have no freedom of choice. Other issues branch out from this central theme to clarify and support it, such as the issue of accountability, human ability, reward, and punishment.

Ibn Tumart did not have a direct treatise on this issue; however, he addressed its aspects on different occasions, from which we can discern the outlines of his opinion on it. In this regard, we will proceed to clarify his position on the following issues: divine decree, accountability, ability, reward, and punishment.

Divine Decree: 1 The Mahdi affirms for God Almighty an absolute decree over the necks of creation. This world is nothing but a reflection of a prior decree. Everything that has come into existence from the various creatures in the dominion of the Creator, may He be glorified, has preceded His decree and destiny. Sustenance is apportioned, deeds are written, breaths are counted, and lifespans are limited. Nothing is delayed from its appointed time, nor does it precede it. No one dies without completing his sustenance, nor does he exceed what has been decreed for him.

This divine decree also encompasses human life and actions. Everything is facilitated.

What is meant here is not only the obligatory duties. (28) Ibn Tumart (29) Creed: 236 It has been said regarding the difference between decree (qada') and destiny (qadar) that decree is the divine rulings on the occurrence of possibilities according to His will, and destiny is the occurrence of those possibilities and their emergence from non-existence into existence according to the divine decree. The Mahdi did not observe this distinction.

And thereafter). (305) He used them interchangeably. (See: Al-Maturidi, Al-Tawhid: 2063)
