Forgiveness of Sins After Sincere Repentance

Question
Does Allah erase the major sins from the servant's records and not hold him accountable for them if he repents sincerely and seeks forgiveness from Allah?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The one who commits a major sin is in the hands of God Almighty; if He wills, He will have mercy on him, and if He wills, He will punish him. And His mercy encompasses the heavens and the earth, so it can encompass those who commit major sins if they are sincere in their repentance and do not return to it, and if they frequently seek forgiveness and regret their actions. And God knows best.
