A man kills a brother of another man,but unintentionaly.
He repents deeply,and even makes apology to the brother of the dead man,explaining himself.
But the man whose brother was killed,doesn't accept the apology and seeks revenge for his dead brother.
He kills the brother of the man who killed his brother.He also repents and asks forgiveness,just like in the first situation.
My question is :
Are they both forgiven ? Do they both find mercy ?
I believe that the second man,who intentionaly took revenge should get no mercy.

Yes. Allah knows everyones heart and he says that he will forgive anything but shirk (worshiping Allah with other idols or things).. But Allah knows best.
Clearly forgiveness is a prerequisite for any true or genuine peace. Islam teaches that Allah is 'the most forgiving', and is the original source of all forgiveness. Forgiveness often requires the repentance of those being forgiven. Depending on the type of wrong committed, forgiveness can come either directly from Allah, or from one's fellow man. In the case of divine forgiveness, the asking for divine forgiveness via repentance is important. In the case of human forgiveness, it is important to both forgive, and to be forgiven.
The central and most sacred book of Islam: the Qur'an, teaches that there is only one error that Allah cannot forgive, the error of ascribing partners (or equals) to Allah. Islam ranks this error as a denial of monotheism, and therefore of the supreme nature of Allah himself. (shirk).
God does not forgive idol worship (if maintained until death), and He forgives lesser offenses for whomever He wills. Anyone who idolizes any idol beside God has strayed far astray. (Qur'an 4:116)
But if he returns to God and pleads sincerely for forgiveness and abandons worshiping other than the one and only God, He will be forgiven.
To receive forgiveness from God there are three requirements:
1)Recognizing the offense itself and its admission before God.
2)Making a commitment not to repeat the offense.
3)Asking for forgiveness from God.
If the offense was committed against another human being, or against society, a fourth condition is added:
1)Recognizing the offense before those against whom offense was committed and before God.
2)Committing oneself not to repeat the offense.
3)Doing whatever needs to be done to rectify the offense (within reason)and asking pardon of the offended party.
Asking God for forgiveness.
Astaghfiru-Allah, "I ask forgiveness from Allah"
Subhanaka-Allah humma wa bi hamdika wa ash-hadu al la Ilaha illa Anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk, "Glory be to You, Allah, and with You Praise (thanks) and I bear witness that there is no deity but You, I ask Your forgiveness and I return to You (in obedience)".

I can not answer of Allah but the true God of Abraham says all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. if man does sin and all men sin then he can not inherit the kingdom of God. The true God of Abraham does not overlook sin and owes no creation anything but freely pays the price of sin for those who accept the atonement. the true God is righteous and nothing short of perfection enters his kingdom. The wages of sin is death and all men do sin and all men do die.
Jesus did explain the only way to the Father is through the Son. The atonement is the only answer to any man's sin.
No man is righteous and all need God. God is merciful and paid the peanlty fo death for all who accept the atonement. No man comes to God on his own as righteous we are not righteous.
Edit the Allah of Islam regardless of name is not the God that was before Muhammad and this true God does not find his creation to be righteous it is the reason he provided the atonement.

There is no acceptance of repentance for those who continue to do evil until, when death faces one of them, he says, 'I do indeed repent now'; nor for those who die disbelievers. It is these for whom We have prepared a painful punishment.
And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. He forgives whomsoever He pleases and punishes whomsoever He pleases, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.

Allah is an idol. Many think that he is God, as translated by the tongue of those who worship him. This is not true. God had the only begotten Son, which was Jesus Christ. As Islam denies this claim, and clearly negates the fact of Jesus being the son of God, it is a false religion, and follows a false god, Allah.

It depends. Let me be blunt:
-If a Muslim kills a Kafir (non-muslim) under islam it is not considered Murder and he is free to go
-If a Muslims kills another Muslim, he is to be put to death
-Revenge is only legitimate against a Kafir not against another Muslim (As Allah says a eye for eye, a tooth for tooth)
So much for the "religion of peace".lol
Why are people giving me thumbs down? THIS is islamic law, like it or not. I'm just stating facts here. If you took you actually research Islam, you would know that. Ridiculous....
