Asking Allah Ta'ala forgiveness for harming others
Question
If you ask Allah Ta'ala sincerely for repentance of your sins of wronging other people without asking their forgiveness, will Allah Ta'ala forgive you for those sins (according to Quran and sunnah)?
Answer
Allah Ta`ala will forgive you, but you should also ask them for forgiveness.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
