QURAN ONLY CONDEMNS THOSE CHRISTIANS AND JEWS THAT DO NOT BELIEVE LAST JUDGMENT DAY

We, muslims, will definitely be saved through the Last Judgment Day and that should not be deniable.

The Holy Quran does condemn the Jews and Christians that they will be thrown into the fire during the Last Judgment Day.

However, you should not be quick to condemn that all Christians and Jews would be thrown into fire during the Last Judgment Day since Quran 2:62 as well as 5:69 allow some Christians and Jews that believe in Allah as well as believing in the Last Judgment Day to be saved from the execution of judgment by Allah on the Last Judgment Day.

Quran 2:62, "Verily, those who have attained to faith (in this divine writ), as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Christians, and the Sabians - all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds - shall have their rewards with their sustainer; and no fear need they have and neither shall they grieve."

Quran 5:69, "For verily, those who have attained to faith (in this divine writ) as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the Sabians, and the Christians - all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds - no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve."

We, moderate muslims, always associate with non-muslim friends in the working places in Singapore. I did approach Christians whether do they believe in the Last Judgment Day. However, to my surprise, they mention to me that they too believe in the Last Judgment Day. However, they told me that they do not call it as Last Judgment Day. Instead, they call it as, (something sounds like this if I could recall well as) Last White Throne Judgment or God's Throne Judgment in which all the people will be confronted with God for his execution of judgment. If you do not believe what I say, you could approach any Christians and/or Catholics to ascertain of their believes.

If you ask me whether these Christians and/or Catholics could be saved from the Last Judgment Day, they would mention that it is Allah's decision to save them. We, moderate muslims, have to respect Allah's decision and we will not object him to have them to be saved.

From Quran 2;62 and 5:69 statements as above, we could come to the conclusion that those Christians and Jews, that do not believe in Allah and the last judgment day and to do the righteous deeds, will be condemned during the Last Judgment Day.

However, those Christians and Jews that uphold the teaching on the belief of Allah and to believe in the Last Judgment Day and to do good dees would be saved during the Last Judgment Day.
