Question

Can we as Muslims repent for even the most heinous sins? I mean anything!!! Any serious sin can be forgiven through true repentance? The word any is important here, it covers any/all/every sin a human being can commit!!! Or is there any limitations to Allah's mercy!

Answer

Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
