摘要

The present study investigated the moderating role of offence-related guilt on taqwa (تقوی, Allah-conscious piety) and divine forgiveness in a purposive sample of 329 Muslim adult women and 206 men (N = 535), age range 19 to 75 (M = 30.68, SD = 11.92), from Sargodha, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, Pakistan. We used a cross-sectional research design and collected data using the Urdu-translated Taqwa Scale (Nazam et al., 2022), Divine Forgiveness Scale (Fincham & May, 2022), and Offence-Related Guilt Subscale from the Offence-Related Shame and Guilt Scale (Wright & Gudjonsson, 2007). Simple moderation analyses were carried out in SPSS (Version 26) with the PROCESS macro tool (Hayes, 2013), which revealed offence-related guilt moderated overall taqwa, Faith in God, and Fear of God (Taqwa Scale subscales) with divine forgiveness. Conditional effects revealed that offence-related guilt strengthened the positive association between taqwa, Faith in God, and Fear of God with divine forgiveness, suggesting guilt interacts with taqwa to influence divine absolution. Some discussion on the catalytic mechanisms of guilt in divine forgiveness is presented.
