        The aim of current study was to compare the western psychological forgiveness model with Islamic forgiveness model. In the western psychological forgiveness model in Enright model (1991) forgiveness includes Uncovering, Decision, Work and Deepening. In the same vein, content analysis and computerized stylistics method and scrutinizing religious scripture were applied in order to compare Islamic and Western forgiveness model. Scrutinized results indicated that the Quran’s verses in regards to the continuum of forgiveness revealed that four stages of forgiveness (Afve) overlooking (Safh), covering up faults (ghofran) and empathy (Rahma) appeared in an arranged way in order to focus on the deeper process of forgiveness. In Islam, there has been a strong emphasis on mercy and forgiveness of God, and such representations stress God’s merciful nature as well as a reflection of the richness of Islamic culture.

        The present study which has been performed in descriptive-analytic way, answered to this question that “what is the role of apology and forgiveness in the sustainability of public life?” In definition of the answer it has been pointed out that Islam constantly advised the Muslims to peace and friendship, hatred avoidance and resolve disputes on the basis of moral values including apology and forgiveness. A number of treatises have been written by Islamic scholars on this basis such as Olfat Nameh, Mosadeqah Ekhvan and etc. In the culture of Ahl al-Bayt (AS), apology of the believers prevents worldly and otherworldly troublesome consequences and forgiveness is a beam of God morality, stepping into the footsteps of the prophets and apostles of God which leads to peace and harmony between the people and popularity of man with God. Apology and forgiveness is so important that according to the traditions, God apologizes the faithful in need similar to apology between brothers and guarantees the wages of such apology. Besides, this is one of the traits of pious and is not limited to faithful people. Even the Imams have apologized to the people like the Prophet Muhammad apologized to the Suffeh Companions. Apology and forgiveness acceptance plays an important role in stability of social life, as the life would be very bitter if people were criticizing for their rights and did not forget the failings of the others. Apology will be moral action if it is performed with required customs and without obligation at appropriate time and condition. Therefore, apology for good deeds and apology to someone who does not care for others is not desirable and is known as an immoral action. On the other hand, although apologizing and accepting excuses are desirable, it is immoral to force others for apology. The objective of current study is to define the importance of apology and forgiveness and encourage the stability of social life Manuscript profile
