Answering Questions Through The Holy Qur'an: For whom is salvation?

For whom is salvation?

5:69 Indeed, those who believed and those who are Jews and the Sabians and the Christians, whoever believed in Allah and the Last Day and did good deeds, then no fear on them, nor will they grieve.

(The Verse specifies “those who believed”, so, for example, those Christians who say that Jesus is God or God is three, they are not believers (5:72-73), but Verse 5:69 could refer, for example, to early Christians who were not trinitarians, and earlier people who did not read or receive the Qur’an, and those who believed in God, the Last Day and did good deeds and did not transgress (e.g. they do not commit idolatry, etc.), etc.)(Muhammad was sent to the whole mankind (7:158, 34:28, 3:96, 21:107, 6:19, 36:70, 25:1), including Jews and Christians, so those who deny the verses of the Qur’an are disbelievers (2:91, 52:33-34, 46:10, 10:95-97, 23:38-39, 40:70))(Allah knows best)

2:62 Indeed, those who believed, and those who became Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians - who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteous deeds, so for them is their reward with their Lord; and they will have no fear, nor will they grieve.

3:85 And whoever seeks other than Islam as religion - then never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be from the losers.

(“Islam” is an Arabic word meaning “Submission (to God)”; that’s the religion preached by Jesus and all Messengers. According to Luke 22:42, Jesus said “yet not my will, but yours be done”. So, there is no contradiction between Verses 5:69 and 3:85)(Allah knows best)

3:19 Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Book did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the Verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in account.

57:27 Then We sent Our Messengers on their footsteps and We followed with Jesus, son of Mary, and We gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But the monasticism they innovated - We did not prescribe it for them - only seeking the pleasure of Allah, but they did not observe it with right observance. So We gave those who believed among them their reward, but most of them are defiantly disobediently.

(Christians innovated monasticism, but they would be rewarded, (as long as they do not transgress (e.g. they do not commit idolatry, etc))(Allah knows best)

33:5 Call them by their fathers; it is more just near Allah. But if you do not know their fathers - then they are your brothers in religion and your friends. But there is no blame upon you if you made a mistake therein, but what your hearts intended. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

46:10 Say, "Do you see if it is from Allah, and you disbelieve in it, and a witness from among the Children of Israel testifies to the like thereof, then he believed, while you are arrogant?" Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

(Christians and Jews are required to follow the Qur’an)(See the articles below “Do the Jews have to follow the Qur’an / Islam?” and “Do Christians have to follow the Qur’an/Islam?”)(Allah knows best)

61:6 And when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."

(Jesus was only sent to the Children of Israel; this is supported by Matthew 15:24 “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel”. Jews are required to follow the Qur’an because Jesus announced them the coming of Muhammad (61:6), and they are required to believe in all Messengers, not only the ones they wish. See the article below “Is Muhammad mentioned in the Bible?”)(On the other hand, Jesus was not sent to those Christians who are not from the Children of Israel; so they have to follow the Qur’an as well. Muhammad was sent to the whole mankind (7:158, 34:28, 3:96, 21:107, 6:19, 36:70, 25:1), including Jews and Christians)(Allah knows best)

5:19 O People of the Book, surely there has come to you Our Messenger, he makes clear to you (after) an interval of the Messengers, lest you say, "There came not to us any bringer of good tidings or a warner." But surely there has come to you a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And Allah is on every thing All-Powerful.

6:89 Those are the ones whom We gave them the Book and the judgment and the Prophethood. But if they disbelieve in it, then indeed, We have entrusted it to a people who are not disbelievers therein.

2:135 And they said, "Be Jews or Christians, then you will be guided." Say, "Nay, the religion of Abraham, the upright; and he was not of those who associated partners."

(This Verse confirms that there are Jews and Christians who no longer follow the correct religion)(They might differ in what they concealed of the Book (6:91, 2:143), and in what they forgot (5:13), and in what they were burdened for their wrongdoing (16:124, 4:160), and in what they innovated (57:27), and in following their desires (2:120, 5:48), and in committing excess in their religion (4:171), etc.)(So, they are required to follow the Qur’an)(Allah knows best)

2:120 And the Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the Guidance of Allah is the Guidance." And if you follow their desires after what has come to you of the knowledge, you will have neither any protector from Allah nor any helper.

62:6 Say, "O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah , excluding the people, then wish for death, if you are truthful."

2:94 Say, "If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is exclusively for you, and not for others of mankind, then wish for death, if you are truthful."

5:72 They certainly disbelieve who say, "Indeed Allah - He is the Messiah, the son of Mary." While the Messiah said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates partners with Allah, then surely Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and his abode will be the Fire. And there will be no helpers for the wrongdoers. 5:73 They have certainly disbelieved, those who say, "Indeed, Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except the One God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, a painful punishment will surely afflict those who disbelieved among them.

9:30 And the Jews said, "Uzair is son of Allah." And the Christians said, "Messiah is son of Allah." That is their saying with their mouths, they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before. (May) Allah destroy them. How deluded are they.

(According to Verse 9:30, the concept “son of God” is not from God, but from those who disbelieved before)(Allah knows best)

11:97 To Firaun/(Pharaoh) and his chiefs, but they followed (the) command of Firaun/(Pharaoh), and (the) command of Firaun/(Pharaoh) was not right. 11:98 He will precede his people (on the) Day (of) the Resurrection and (will) lead them (into) the Fire. And wretched (is) the place to which (they are) led.
