THE JEWS AND THE CHRISTIANS

As for the Jews and the Christians, they are particularly warned because they are followers of chosen Apostles of Allah (i.e. Prophets Moses and Jesus, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon them).

Almighty Allah says:

"And whoever desires a religion other than Islam (the religion of Prophet Muhammad - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), it will never be accepted of him and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers."

Holy Qur'an (3:85)

Prophet Muhammad said: "Any Jew or Christian who heard about me and did not believe in me and what was revealed to me of the Holy Qur'an and my traditions, his ultimate destination is the (Hell) Fire."

The Holy Qur'an - in itself is a miracle. Anyone, whatever his nationality, reading this Divinely Revealed Book will be convinced that it is such a Book that could not be produced by a human being.

Almighty Allah says:

"And this Qur'an is not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah, but (on the contrary) it is a confirmation of (revelation) that was before it (i.e., the Torah and the Gospel etc.) and a full explanation of the Book (i.e., laws and orders etc. decreed for mankind) wherein there is no doubt from the Lord of the Worlds.

"Or do they say: He (Muhammad - may peace be upon him) forged it? Say: Bring then a chapter (of the Qur'an) like unto it and call (to your aid) -anyone who can, besides Allah, if it be you speak the truth."

Holy Qur'an (10:37-38)

Jesus (peace be upon him) is a Prophet in whom every Muslim must believe, as belief in all the Prophets and Apostles of Allah is part of the Islamic Faith. The Bible itself proves categorically that he was the servant of God (Allah) as a Prophet and preached monotheism. (Tauhid: The Oneness of Allah).

For the benefit of all the readers I wish to include a thought-provoking article which was originally written in Arabic by a learned religious scholar, Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddin Al-Hilali, a Professor at this Islamic University, Medina, and rendered into English by Brother Adam Moosa Makda entitled "Biblical Evidence of Jesus being a Servant of God (Allah) and having no Share in Divinity."
