Chapter: Will a person be punished for his actions during the Jahlilliyyah?

It is narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. Mas'ud that some people said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ):
Messenger of Allah, would we be held responsible for our deeds committed in the state of ignorance (before embracing Islam)? Upon his he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: He who amongst you performed good deeds in Islam, He would not be held responsible for them (misdeeds which he committed in ignorance) and he who committed evil (even after embracing Islam) would be held responsible or his misdeeds that he committed in the state of ignorance as well as in that of Islam.
Explanation:
-If a person does good in the past he gets the reward of both
-If a person doesn't truly enter or he apostates and he does bad he gets the sin of both
-If a person enters with Ikhlaas but doesn't practice, his sins are forgiven from Jahiliyyah
-Islam includes internal and external actions. 

Sharh Sahih Muslim, 2/152-153

And Allaah Knows best
