The Repentance of a Disbeliever Who Kills After His Islam and the First of the Prophets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In the hadith of the two men, the killer and the killed, where one of them committed a sin against the other, and yet both enter Paradise, even though one of them wronged his companion. Does this apply to the rest of the wrongdoers? If the wrongdoer repents before any of the people on the land of the Muslims become guided, and then repents after that.
The Shaykh:
This is the killing of a Muslim while he was in a state of disbelief, then he embraced Islam. [Al-Anfal 8:38] So this question is regarding the disbeliever who fought against the Muslims and then embraced Islam afterwards. Islam wipes out what came before it.
The questioner:
And the prophets and messengers.
The Shaykh:
Yes, Adam is a prophet without doubt; he is a prophet and the first of the prophets. But the prophethood that came after the occurrence of shirk (associating partners with Allah) on earth: Noah (peace be upon him) is the first prophet after the occurrence of shirk on earth and after the change of the correct religion. He is the first of the prophets after the occurrence of shirk on earth. As for Adam, he is the first prophet absolutely. They even said that Idris (peace be upon him) was before Noah, that Idris was before Noah. Yes, Allah knows best. The important thing is that Adam is the first prophet to the people of the earth after the occurrence of shirk therein. Yes.
