I'm sure you're all familiar with this hadith about the serial killer who killed 100 people and then went for the repentance of Allah. It's hard for me to believe it though. I know Allah's mercy is great. But so is His justice. This man wronged 100 people and their families might have something to say about him on the day of judgement. I thought injustice done to someone else can't be forgiven until they forgive you in this life or the hereafter.
The Prophet said, "Amongst the men of Bani Israel there was a man who had murdered ninety-nine persons. Then he set out asking (whether his repentance could be accepted or not). He came upon a monk and asked him if his repentance could be accepted. The monk replied in the negative and so the man killed him. He kept on asking till a man advised to go to such and such village. (So he left for it) but death overtook him on the way. While dying, he turned his chest towards that village (where he had hoped his repentance would be accepted), and so the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment quarrelled amongst themselves regarding him. Allah ordered the village (towards which he was going) to come closer to him, and ordered the village (whence he had come), to go far away, and then He ordered the angels to measure the distances between his body and the two villages. So he was found to be one span closer to the village (he was going to). So he was forgiven."
Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 56, Number 676.
The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever has done some wrong to his brother, let him seek his forgiveness today before there is no dinar or dirham, when if he has some righteous deeds (to his credit), some of his hasanaat (good deeds) will be taken in proportion to his wrongdoing, and if he has no hasanaat some of the sayi’aat (bad deeds) of the one whom he wronged will be taken and added to his burden.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari in his Saheeh).
Allah knows best, but I can't really wrap my head around this.
