When someone converts to Islam, God forgives all of his previous sins and evil deeds. A man called Amr came to the Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, and said, \u201cGive me your right hand so that I may give you my pledge of loyalty.\u201d The Prophet stretched out his right hand. Amr withdrew his hand. The Prophet said: \u201cWhat has happened to you, O Amr?\u201d He replied, \u201cI intend to lay down a condition.\u201d The Prophet asked: \u201cWhat condition do you intend to put forward?\u201d Amr said, \u201cThat God forgive my sins.\u201d The Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, said: \u201cDidn\u2019t you know that converting to Islam erases all previous sins?\u201d[1]<\/p>\n
After converting to Islam, the person will be rewarded for his or her good and bad deeds according to the following saying of the Prophet Muhammad: \u201cYour Lord, Who is blessed and exalted, is most merciful. If someone intends to do a good deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him. And if he does do it, (a reward of) ten to seven hundred or many more times (the reward of the good deed), will be recorded for him. And if someone intends to do a bad deed but does not do it, a good deed will be recorded for him. And if he does do it, a bad deed will be recorded against him or God will wipe it out.\u201d[2]<\/p>\n
