Furthermore the person who was killed misbehaved with the  father of that good guy that made him so angry and he decided to kill  him. And after that murder that guy was attacked 2 times and was nearly  put to death but somehow he survived. I would like to tell you that this  guy is a doctor and is a very good human being. He is very honest to  his job but he is being haunted by the guilt that he killed someone. He  fears that even if he ask for forgiveness Allah won&#8217;t forgive him.  Kindly help me in solving his problem. Tell me whether Allah will ever  forgive him or not.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>A  crime is actually a crime. Killing bad person is not different from  killing a good one. God has prohibited taking a human life. The only  allowable way for humans to take a life is when he has killed another  person or created nuisance in the land. This too will be conducted and  implemented by the court and not individuals. Therefore, if an  individual or a goup of them kill another no matter what circumstances  they are responsible. <\/p>\n<div>Now  the question of repentance, God accepts true repentance and forgives  every sin He decides to forgive. However, it needs to be appreciated  that repentance means correcting one&#8217;s behaviour more than it means  asking for forgiveness. If the brother has truly repented and has  corrected his behaior and is mindful of God&#8217;s and fellow humans&#8217; rights  we should hope he would be forgiven. He should remain between hope and  fear so that he strives more for his success in the afterlife.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-12<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6337\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If  someone, who is otherwise a good human being, has committed a murder in  the past under some circumstances, and the person he killed was not a  good human being and he had rapped 2 women, will he ever be forgiven for  that sin?
