Abstract
Ihtawt, also known as Habat al-Amal in Islamic theology, is primarily concerned with explaining and analyzing the complex relationship between faith and righteous and unrighteous deeds on the one hand, and happiness and misery in the hereafter on the other. Although the precise concept of Ihtawt with its theological details is not found in Christian teachings, But there are conceptual similarities between these teachings. The main difference between these two intellectual traditions is in the quality of occurrence and the scope of the effect of frustration. This article aims to comparatively examine the frustration of action as one of the most fundamental and challenging topics in the field of Islamic theology and comparative theology, which has been examined and explained with an emphasis on the teachings of the Imamiyyah and Christianity.This study, with an analytical and documentary approach, has examined the different perspectives of Islam, especially the Imamiyyah, and Christianity. The results of this study emphasize the remarkable alignment of the Imamiyyah theology and the theology of Catholic Christianity, in such a way that both carry the meaning of absolution in a figurative sense and deny the general absolution of actionsThis alignment opens new horizons for comparative studies in theology. The conclusion of this article is that from the Islamic perspective, every good or bad deed has its own account and sin does not necessarily lead to the complete destruction of a good deed;.Also, none of the main branches of Christianity believe in the annulment of past actions; even the Catholic Church has provided ways, such as the sacrament of penance (confession), to restore a relationship with God after sins.
