Will Allah admit into the Highest Paradise a servant who committed many sins and major misdeeds, then repented with sincere repentance and performed righteous deeds?
Whoever repents sincerely, Allah will accept his repentance, no matter how great his sins, as Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful," and as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin." The way to the highest Paradise is through faith and righteous deeds, as Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, those who believed and did righteous deeds - for them will be the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging." And it is for the believer to strive to reach this rank through faith, sincere repentance, righteous deeds, and supplication.
