Will Everyone Be Treated Fairly?
Yes, absolutely. Allah always treats everyone with justice and fairness.
But read these verses of the Quran carefully, especially about the “People of the Book” (Jews & Christians):
These are the Verses of Allah: We recite them to you (O Muhammad peace be upon him) in truth, and Allah wills no injustice to the ‘Alamin (mankind and Jinns). And to Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And all matters go back (for decision) to Allah. You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma’ruf (Islamic Monotheism) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief), and you believe in Allah.
[Noble Quran 3:108-110]
The Righteous Among All People
Does Allah Treat Jews and Christians the same as Muslims?
Actually, the Jews and Christians who believed in Allah as One God — and they tried to obey the commandments of Allah and follow the message which Allah sent with their particular messenger — are mentioned many times in Quran:
They are not all the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer]. They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous. And whatever good they do — never will it be removed from them. And Allah is Knowing of the righteous.
[Noble Quran 3:113-115]
The Weight of Faith
Verily, those who disbelieved, and died while they were disbelievers, the (whole) earth full of gold will not be accepted from anyone of them even if they offered it as a ransom.
[Noble Quran 3:91]
Those who die while disbelievers, will only receive payment of their good deeds here on earth, in this life. But their deeds will not be accepted from them on Judgment Day, even if they spent the earth’s fill of gold in what was perceived to be an act of obedience.
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, told us:
“If anyone of the People of the Book hears about me and the message with which I have been sent, and does not accept to surrender and submit to Almighty Allah in peace (Islam), then he will be in the Fire.”
Allah tells us in the Quran, that He is the “Best of Judges” and certainly the final Judgment of us all rests with Him.
