It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! If I (accept Islam and) continue to do good deeds in this religion, will I be held accountable for my evils committed during the time of ignorance?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you accept Islam outwardly and inwardly, you will not be held accountable for whatever you did during the time of ignorance. But if you accept Islam outwardly and not inwardly, then you will be held accountable for every sin, past and future."
