Re: If Hitler converted to Islam before his death, would his sins have been forgiven?
It is a waste of a thread for we all know Islam is very clear about reverting. Whoever reverts to Islam, all his past sins are wiped out even if the amount of those sins were as high as jaba-ul-Ohud (mountain of ohud) [reference from a hadeeth]
49:11] O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong.
Agreed but He:swt: has told us His decisions in Quran and also through prophet:saw:.. Those who deny this facts are none but ignorants.
There is but there is a distinction too… One who says I believe in Allah when he sees death, may not be accepted (case: Pharoa of Moses:as: ) but without the knowledge of death coming, if someone does accept Islam whole-heartedly, remember you are not the Judge but Allah:swt:
Only Allah(SWT) knows what’s inside of one’s heart and statements like these are reflective of the ignorance from the context of Quran and the life time of the Prophet:saw:… There is a famous dua of the Prophet:saw: for Umer Bin Khattab:razi: and Umer Bin Hasshaam (Abu Jahel) and if you get chance, read about these two personalities.
God has told us in Quran and Prophet:saw: has mentioned in his narations about such situations… One should know about these in the matter of Islam instead of “thinking” about what Islam could be.
I concur.
