Narrated Ibn Mas’ud:
A man said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Shall we be punished for what we did in the Prelslamic Period of
ignorance?” The Prophet said, “Whoever does good in Islam will not be punished for what he did in
the Pre-lslamic Period of ignorance and whoever does evil in Islam will be punished for his former
and later (bad deeds).”
