Allah forgives all sins if His servants repent.
Allah ,the most merciful may forgive every sin of His servants except shirk in case he/she failed to repent in his life.
say,If a mushrik converted to Islam and repents for all his misdeeds.Will he be punished in hereafter just because he did shirk before reverting to Islam.
On the other hand_ if a mushrik dies without repenting for any of his sins including shirk.Chances are there that he may be forgiven for all his sins except shirk,as it is unpardonable.
I hope others will correct me on it. |

I agree with brother Raushan. I enclose the answer from Understanding Islam web site on a similar question.
The verses of Surah Al-Furqaan (25: 68 - 70) read as:
"And those who invoke no other god besides the one God and do not kill except for a just cause and who do not commit fornication. Whoever commits these sins shall meet the evil fruits [of his deeds], his punishment shall be [consistently] increased on the Day of Resurrection and in disgrace he shall abide for ever -- except for those who repent and believe and do good deeds. As for them God will change their sins to good deeds. And God is extremely forgiving, His mercy extends for ever."
What these verses state is that shirk, murder and fornication are crimes, which shall take a person to the everlasting punishment of Hellfire. These verses do not say, that shirk, murder and fornication are 'three unforgivable' crimes. On the contrary, these verses only state that those who are guilty of shirk, murder and fornication shall be punished in Hellfire forever. The obvious exception from the everlasting punishment - though not explicitly stated in words, in the verses - is that "unless these criminals are forgiven by God". Thus, the referred verses, in my opinion, imply that unless forgiven by God, those who are guilty of shirk, murder or fornication shall face the everlasting punishment of Hellfire. In the referred verses of Surah Al-Nisaa (4: 48, 116), this obvious exception has been explicitly renounced for those who are guilty of shirk. The two verses read as:
God does not forgive that partners be associated to Him, besides that He may forgive any thing for whom He pleases. Whoever associates partners to God is indeed guilty of a very grave sin. (Al-Nisaa 4: 48)
and:
God does not forgive that partners be associated to Him, besides that He may forgive any thing for whom He pleases. Whoever associates partners to God has indeed strayed far away [from the right path]. (Al-Nisaa 4: 116)
Thus, keeping both sets of verses (of Al-Furqaan as well as Al-Nisaa) in perspective, the complete implication would be:
Those who are guilty of shirk, murder or fornication, and then do not repent, shall face the everlasting punishment of hellfire, except that God shows mercy on them and forgives them. However, God has declared that He would never show mercy on those who are guilty of shirk.
I really do not think the two sets of verses could be termed as contradictory, as one refers to (a part of) the law of punishments on the Day of Judgment and the other refers to (a part of) the principles of forgiveness (or the lack of it).
In conclusion
True and sincere repentance does away with all sins, including shirk. Those who are guilty of shirk, murder or fornication, and then do not repent, shall face the everlasting punishment of hellfire. In case of lack of repentance their punishment shall in no case be reduced, except that God shows mercy on them and forgives them. However God has declared that, in case of lack of repentance, He would never show mercy on those who are guilty of shirk.
Shirk, murder and fornication are among those crimes that entitle a person to everlasting punishment of hellfire;
However, a person who repents and corrects himself, shall not only be forgiven - even if he has committed the gravest of crimes, i.e. shirk - but God's abounding mercy and forgiveness shall convert his bad (punishable) deeds into good (rewarding) ones;
In case of lack of repentance a person who is guilty of shirk, murder or fornication shall remain in hellfire forever, except that God has mercy on him and forgives him;
God has declared that, in case of lack of repentance, He would never show mercy on those who are guilty of shirk. This implies that other crimes (even murder and fornication) may be forgiven for whom God decides, even in case of lack of repentance. |

Salaam,
All sins are forgivable in Islam if the person sincerely repents to Allah. The thing that cannot be forgiven if the person does not repent of it before dying is shirk or taking partners with Allah. Allah says [Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners
with Allah is to devise a sin most heinous indeed] (An-Nisaa' 4:48).
In his response to your question, Sheikh Muhammad Al-Mukhtar Ash-Shinqiti, Director of the Islamic Center of South Plains, Lubbock, Texas, states the following:
Allah says in Surat Az-Zumar [Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful] (Az-Zumar 39:53).
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said, "Allah will accept the repentance of His servant as long as he does not breathe his last" (Ahmad).
All sins are forgivable in Islam if the person sincerely repents to Allah. Conditions of repentance are these:
1. Regretting the sin 2. Determining not to commit the same sin again 3. Returning things to their rightful owners if the sin is related to wronging people
If the sinner does not repent and dies persistent in doing the sin, then judgment is left to Allah: If He wishes He can forgive the person, and if He wishes He can punish the person.
What cannot be forgiven if the person does not repent of it before dying is shirk or taking partners with Allah. Allah says [Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin most heinous indeed] (An-Nisaa' 4:48).
Rapists and murderers are not excluded from the mercy of God if they sincerely repent to Allah and fulfill the above mentioned conditions. Islam promises that the bad deeds accumulated by the sinners will be replaced by good deeds if they repent and go back to Allah. Allah says [Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for just cause, nor commit fornication, and any that does this (not only) meets punishment. (But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy. Unless he repents, believes and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful] (Al-Furqan 25:68-70).
Wassalam.

After repenting, only the sins related to Allah's right are forgivable NOT those realated to human's rights unless that particular individual forgives. It is important. |

| j/z thank u so much everyone for all the quotes and all the help, but i still have one question- are you sure Allah forgives murder? I mean with murder /rape etc, the person in question has not wronged Allah, but another human. What about the rule that says Allah only forgives once the person you have wronged forgives you? |

Allah can do anything. That is the definition of God.
Even if a person has not forgiven his oppressor, Allah can make the victim forgive the oppressor.
This is something we will only know when time comes for judgement. |

Allah is all in all. He can do any thing BUT there will be NO AT ALL any sort of in-justice at the Day of Judgment. Keep in mind, If there is no justice, this is also NOT the definition of God. |
