Can one who disbelieved after his belief, then repented, believed, and acted like the predecessors, join them and be among the companions of Al-Firdaws Al-A‘la (the highest Paradise), or will he be in the lower ranks of Jannah, especially with the existence of verses that differentiate between those who spent and fought before the Conquest and those who spent and fought after it, and a Hadith about the delayed status of Abdullah ibn Rawahah?
