1- In Islam drop all previous sins
Among the vast mercy of Allah is His offer to unbelievers and idolaters, if they repent and convert to Islam, then their sins of the past in love. He said,

قل للذين كفروا إن ينتهوا يغفر لهم ماقد سلف وإن يعودوا فقد مضت سنة الأولين

Say to those who disbelieve, 'If they desist (from Unbelief), Allah will forgive the sins of those who have passed away; and if they return, then what happened (to them) sunnah (the ordinance of God) against those formerly. " (Surat al-Anfal / 8: 38).

Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

إذا أسلم العبد فحسن إسلامه كتب الله له كل حسنة كان أزلفها ومحيت عنه كل سيئة كان أزلفها ثم كان بعد ذلك القصاص الحسنة بعشرة أمثالها إلى سبع مائة ضعف والسيئة بمثلها إلا أن يتجاوز الله عز وجل عنها

If a slave converted to Islam, then Islam is good, God wrote all the good she had done, and removed him all the bad things that he never did. Then after that there Qisas (retaliation fair), which is a virtue rewarded ten-fold to 700-fold. The disadvantages are rewarded with the same one, except God Almighty forgive him. (HR Nasai, no. 4998, validated by Sheikh Al-Albanian in the Lineage-Saheehah , no. 247).

He sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam also said to his companions' Amr bin Al-'Aash wishing to convert to Islam,

أما علمت أن الإسلام يهدم ما كان قبله وأن الهجرة تهدم ما كان قبلها وأن الحج يهدم ما كان قبله

Do you not know that Islam drop (sins) before, and that hijroh drop (sins) before the pilgrimage drop (sins) before. (Reported by Muslim, no. 121).

If so, how generosity Allah Almighty to His servants. Ah, the values ​​of Islam is, and how great is the faith. So, do not let a pawn with a temporary pleasures of this world, because he will lose the true losses.

2- The good life
Allah Ta'ala says,

من عمل صالحا من ذكر أو أنثى وهو مؤمن فلنحيينه حياة طيبة ولنجزينهم أجرهم بأحسن ما كانوا يعملون

Those who do good deeds, whether male or female, being a believer, verily to him will We give a good life, and We will give a reply to them with a better reward than what they did. (Surat an-Nahl / 16: 97)

"This is the promise of God to those who do good deeds, such as charity, which follows the book of Allah Almighty and the Sunnah of His Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam , among men and women of the children of Adam, and his faith in God and His Messenger, and ordered that the charity is prescribed by Allah Ta'ala , that Allah will give him a good life in the world. And Allah will reward you with a reward in the hereafter better than what he had done. And the good life that includes forms of comfort from all sides. As a good honest living, qana'ah , happiness, worship in the world, and practicing obedience with open heart. "( Tafsir Ibn Kathir briefly).

The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

قد أفلح من أسلم ورزق كفافا وقنعه الله بما آتاه

It was lucky the man who converted to Islam and he was given ample sustenance, and Allah made ​​it qana'ah (pleased; receiving) with what He has given him . (Reported by Muslim, no. 1054; Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Ahmad, from Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As).

In the hadeeth mentioned the surprising things that exist in the state of a believer,

عن صهيب قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عجبا لأمر المؤمن إن أمره كله خير وليس ذاك لأحد إلا للمؤمن إن أصابته سراء شكر فكان خيرا له وإن أصابته ضراء صبر فكان خيرا له

From Suhaib, he said, The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, " It's amazing how the affairs of a believer, in fact its affairs are all good, and it's not something that happens to anyone except a believer. If the fun of it, he was grateful, then it's good for him. If trouble about it, he is patient, then it is better for him. " (Reported by Muslim, no. 2999).

3- Removal of error of accidents in the world and in the hereafter
He said,

فإما يأتينكم مني هدى فمن اتبع هداي فلا يضل ولا يشقى

Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he will not lose his way, nor fall into misery. (Surah Taha / 20: 123).

What is meant by the instructions of God here are the prophets and apostles who lead the scriptural description of Allah Ta'ala . Allah has promised those who believe and follow his guidance, that they will not go astray in the world and would not harm in the afterlife. Have luck more than this? Instead, Allah threatens those who turn away from His guidance to his word,

ومن أعرض عن ذكرى فإن له معيشة ضنكا ونحشره يوم القيامة أعمى {124} قال رب لم حشرتني أعمى وقد كنت بصيرا {125} قال كذلك أتتك ءاياتنا فنسيتها وكذلك اليوم تنسى {126} وكذلك نجزي من أسرف ولم يؤمن بئايات ربه ولعذاب الأخرة أشد وأبقى { 127}

And whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him on the Day of Resurrection blind. "
He said, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind when I was able to see." He said, "So, have come to you Our verses, then you forget it, and so (also) on the day you even this is forgotten. "And that is as it We reward those extravagant and does not believe the revelations of his Lord. The torment in the Hereafter is more severe and more lasting. (Surah Taha / 20: 124-127)
