Thanks for your reply Br Aadil.

Some (as the example below) seem to suggest that other than followers of Qur'an and the blessed Rasool Muhammad, all (Jews, Christians and Sabeans) are going to hell:

".........Please note the following points:

1. The verb used "believed" in 2:62 is in perfect tense equivalent to past tense of English with reference to period of revelation of Quran.

2. Read the verse 2:63 which clarifies that if they act according to original book given to them, then this condition applies.

3. The verb used "seeks" in 3:85 is in imperfect tense equivalent to present and future tense of English with reference to period of revelation of Quran.

In short, verse 2:62 refers position before revelation of Quran and verse 3:65 refers position after revelation of Quran.
Once Quran is revealed see the position in verse 2:137 "So if they believe as ye believe, they are indeed on the right path; but if they turn back, it is they who are in schism;"

So, if you read verses in right context, there is no contradiction.

[Sigh] with so many different interpretations what are simple commoners supposed to do? Reminds me of an Urdu couplet:

Illahi teray saada dil banday bata aakhir kahan jaayen

(God, where should your simple-minded servants supposed to go for guidance?

Dear brother Mubashir,

From what I could gather from your post, you seem to support the view that once Quran had been revealed, one HAS to believe in it otherwise there is no salvation (forgive my use of strong words); as long as the revelation was not completed, those following previous scriptures earnestly will be blessed in the hereafter along with believing Muslims.

If I am correct in my deduction on what you have stated, then do let me know; I shall proceed further only then...

Thanks and Peace to all!
