can jews and christians go to heaven?
-
according to 0262 christians and jews will have their award by God, does this ayat refers to christians and jews when Jesus and Moses was alive and who followed them. Because these two books are corrupted. Present christians believe that Jesus is the son of God or a God himself. Isn't this a shirk? And Allah says He can forgive any sins but shirk (04116).
By the way thanks for the replies to my previous topic, you've been great help...

Salaams S.O.A,
Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread)
55 This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the People of the Book(who are not associaters), revealed before your time,- when ye give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues if any one rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).
Al-Baqara (The Cow)
2221 Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters,who associate), until they believe A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind That they may celebrate His praise.
Al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
367 Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah(surrenderism), and he joined not gods with Allah.
Al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
385 If anyone desires a religion other than surrenderism(islam) never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).
Al-Baqara (The Cow)
262 Those who believe , and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah(and its just Allah) and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Al-Baqara (The Cow)
2135 They said be jews or christians you would be guided say nay the creed of Abraham the upright and neither he was of the associaters.
930
The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them how they are deluded away from the Truth!931
They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One Allah there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).
932
Fain would they extinguish Allah's light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).SO IT SEEMS THEY ARE CURSED FOR CALLING JESUS SON OF GOD ,BUT PROVIDING YOU DON?T DO THIS AND YOU BELIEVE IN THE THREE THINGS YOU ARE THEN FOLLOWING ISLAM AND YOU NEEDN?T FEAR nor will you greive.
I hope it helps.
Salaams.

Peace be upon you,
262 is telling us don't get caught up in TITLES, it is about your ACTIONS. If you make a partner to the One God, then yo are not thinking HOLISTICALLY, you do not see the WHOLE picture so you actions are fragmented. For example, when you don't think HOLISTICLLY, you seperate "religion" from Psychology, science from "religion", philosophy from Psychology, etc. Or you will say "God bless America" yet forget about your brothers and sisters everywhere else.
When you are a TRUE monotheist, you realize that ALL is ONE. We are ALL interconnected with nature and each other. When you allow another to starve it is like letting your own self starve or your own child, that is how we should see things.
I am getting off topic, Yes, 262 is teling us not to fall into the trap of TITLES.
But many of us are stuck in TITLES, therefore we are unable to see what the words "Allah", "Quran", "Muhammad", "Ahmad", etc really imply.
Many want to form another sect as the ones in the past instead of seeing the TRUTH as being HOLISTIC.
