Maeda 68-69
68- SAY: O PEOPLE OF THE BOOK, YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING ANYTHING UNLESS YOU UPHOLD THE TORAH AND ENGEEL AND WHAT WAS SENT DOWN TO YOU FROM YOUR LORD, AND MANY OF YOU WILL HAVE WHAT WAS SENT DOWN TO YOU FROM YOUR LORD IN TRANSGRESSION AND DISBELIEVE, SO DO NOT GRIEF FOR THE DISBELIEVING PEOPLE.
69- THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND THOSE WHO ARE JEWS AND THE SABEON AND THE CHRISTIANS, THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ALLAH AND THE LAST DAY AND DO GOOD DEEDS, THERE IS NO FEAR UPON THEM AND THEY WILL NOT BE SADDENED.
Being a follower of a faith or religion is not a matter of performing ceremonies or going to a particular place of worship. Every faith and religion has it’s code of conduct which is not very different in essence from one to the other. The believers should follow this code and commands which are to be found in their holy books. The principles and laws in these holy books, Engeel, Torah and Quran should be held by their followers, before claiming that they follow a religion, because if they do not uphold what is in their books, they are not following a religion, but just performing ceremonies empty of meaning. This goes for Muslims as well as Jews and Christians.
After the last prophet and messenger and the last book was sent, every believer has to follow this last guidance. However, many do not, but instead will increase the wrong they are doing, the transgression they are doing and the injustice they are doing to themselves and to others.
There were a number of Religions before the final religion of Islam. There were Judaism, Christianity, and the Sabeon who were a group of people who believed in God but did not follow any religion in particular. With the arrival of the last prophet and messenger prayer and peace upon him, this unified the path to Allah to one.
Those who follow Islam or followed the religions of Judaism, Christianity or the Sabeon, who believed in God without following a religion, are accepted by Allah and they should not have any fear regarding the day of Judgement.
