Allah is capable of changing your past if he accepts your dua and he can make it as if your past didn't happen because you won't remember anything of it but your new past and present will take hold but the decision is up to Allah. If you want it then you should ask sincerely perhaps he may accept it from you and change your past for you or forgive you if that is what you were seeking
I am sorry brother but personally...I do not believe this.
Yes, Allah is capable of doing exactly that...but He won't.
Because, the very purpose of coming to Earth and living this life is to make ourselves witnesses of our own decisions and acts in the past.
He knows us better than we know ourselves, isn't that correct?
He could have skipped the Earth thingy entirely and just put us directly in Heaven or Hell.
Why would He go through all that trouble to create an entire universe so that we may experience this Earth fase in our lives whenn He could skip the entire process and put us directly in Heaven or Hell?
The reason is "to make us witnesses of our own decisions and acts in our past".
So that when that day comes, and Allah puts us in Hell, we cannot say "What did we do to deserve this?"...we have been witnesses of our past so we would understand.
Now, Why would He go though all that trouble if He could change every aspect in the past and manipulate our memories about it accordingly?
He is perfectly able to do that...But He won't...But then...that would collide with our attribute of being human and having a free will.
We can make our own decisions, but every decision in the past can be changed.
Then on judgement day, who could ensure me that the things I remember of my past really took place and not just changed and my memory been manipulated?
What certainty do I have about my past, if everything can be changed anyways?
