BismilLah.
One of the beautiful nature of Islam is that no matter how much evil we become, if we turns sincerely to the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth (ALLAH), repenting and asking for forgiveness, the matter is over, we are forgiven, and not just that, the love of ALLAH SWT for us that was present before will all be back, because HE is al-Wadud, HE is the Loving One. And this is the mercy of ALLAH, Azza wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic.
You remember the true story of a man who killed 100 human beings and he wanted to repent to ALLAH SWT but in the process of going to a town where he can meet good people and repent dies on his way but just because of his intention to repent ALLAH forgave him and he finally entered Jannat Allahu Akbar. So the point is and as mentioned in the Quran, the worst sins that ever committed which are associating partners with ALLAH, those who kill, those who commit zina, if they repent to ALLAH SWT sincerely, "ALLAH SWT will even replace their sins with good deeds." (25:70).
ALLAH commanded Prophet Mohammed sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam to call the people of the Book (Christians and Jews) who disbelieve in HIM and HIS Messenger to repent. ALLAH mentioned in Surah al-Hadid, to the People of the Book,” O you who believe [in Musa (Moses) (i.e. Jews) and 'eesa (Jesus) (i.e. Christians)]! Fear ALLAH, and believe too in HIS Messenger (Muhammad S.A.W), ALLAH will give you a double portion of HIS Mercy, and HE will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight), and HE will forgive you. And ALLAH is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”. (57:28).
Even though this verse was revealed to the Ahlul kitaab at the time of the Prophet before ALLAH perfected Islam for mankind, the deal from ALLAH still stand for whoever revert to Islam among the disbelievers today will get double reward of forgiveness and also turning their bad deeds before into good deeds, Allahu Akbar. What a bargain.
*_May ALLAH forgive our sins and guide our non Muslim colleagues to Islam_*. Aameen.
