THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ithnayn, 1st Jumaadal Awwal 1440, (Monday, 7th January, 2019). ISLAM DESTROY PAST SINS. Let's find out how and share to others please. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked a similar question, about someone who earned money by dealing in drugs before he became Muslim. He replied: We say to this person whom ALLAAH has blessed with Islam after he had earned haraam (unlawful) wealth: be of good cheer, for this wealth is permissible for him and there is no sin on him in it, whether he keeps it or gives it in charity, or uses it to get married, because ALLAAH says in His Holy Book (interpretation of the meaning): “Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief), their past will be forgiven. But if they return (thereto), then the examples of those (punished) before them have already preceded (as a warning)”[al-Anfaal 8:38] i.e., all that has passed, in general terms, is forgiven. But any money that was taken by force from its owner must be returned to him. But money that was earned by agreements between people, even if it is haraam, like that which is earned through riba (interest)or by selling drugs, etc. it is permissible for him. Allahu Akbar. Many of the non-Muslims became Muslim after they had killed Muslims, but they were not punished for what they had done. AlhamdulilLah. I guess you want to ask me what about Muslims who commit major sins and repent? Well ALLAH is not only Ar-Rahmaan but also ArRaheem meaning, ALLAH has promised us not to only wipe the sins away but to turn them into good deeds for us, Atakbeer!!!
