Does it say in the Quran that the righteous will have their minor sins forgiven? Some say that people will first be punished for their sins and then they will go to heaven on Judgement Day. What is the correct view of this matter?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There are many Qur'anic verses that state that the righteous will be
granted forgiveness on the day of judgment.

In Surah Ibrahim verse 41 ( O my Lord ! Forgive me and my parents and
the believers on the day of judgment).

Also in Surah al-Ma'idah verse 9:  Allah (SWT), has promised those who believed and did good, that for them there is forgiveness and a great reward.

Also in Surah Aal-e-Imran verse 136 : For them reward is forgiveness from their Lord
and gardens with rivers flowing underneath.

Many other verses also state the righteous believers will be granted
forgiveness on the day of judgment.

Major sins are not like minors sins and a person who committed sins and repented is not like a person who insisted on committing sins until death. There are people who get
forgiveness for all their sins because of their sincere intentions and very 
good deeds. But there are people who will get punished on the day of
judgment and after their punishment, they will be sent to Paradise.

It all depends upon the degree of sincerity and good deeds.

Will there be homosexuality in heaven?
Zoheir Ali Esmail

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. There is no textual evidence to support that there will be homosexuality in heaven. It is reasonable to say that that will be because any desire for the same sex will be removed before entering heaven.

May you always be successful.
What’s the difference between a Muslim and a Mu'min? Can both of them go to heaven?
Rebecca Masterton

A Muslim is someone who practices the laws of Islam and has no emnity towards the Ahl al-Bayt (as). A mu'min is someone who has ma'rifah of the station of the Ahl al-Bayt (as) and whose heart is open to the esoteric knowledge that they teach. Both can go to Heaven.
Is it true that the martyrs of Islam will not be brought to account for any of their deeds and will go directly to heaven?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Based on certain verses, like Surah al-Tawhbah, verse 111, and Surah al-Saff, verse 10, it is understood that Almighty God forgives the sins of a martyr who dies in the path of God. The martyr will be blessed with the everlasting abode of heaven because of their sacrifice. 

Of course, we know that not every person will have the great opportunity of dying in the path of Allah, and it is indeed something granted by the Almighty to only those who deserve it and have spiritually worked for it. 

We also have traditions that refer to certain individuals who will enter Heaven without being judged, and there are plenty of such cases.

If the martyr has certain obligations towards others, or a debt, or something like that, then that would also not be in conflict with them entering heaven.

And Allah knows best.
