Juz 7 of the Qur\'an contains the latter 38 verses of Surah al-Maidah and the first 110 verses of Surah al-An’am. In today’s episode, we discuss whether or not non-Muslims can attain salvation as we take a deeper look at verses 82-86 of Surah al- Maidah. It is narrated that these verses shed light upon the story of the Christian king, Najashi, who gave refuge to some of the early Muslims in Abyssinia. Through these verses and others like it, we see that Allah (swt) judges people with absolute justice and according to their circumstances and level of knowledge. This is why some non-Muslims may gain paradise if they have a justified excuse for their ignorance and will be judged based on how much they acted on what they knew. Allah (swt)’s justice compels Him to judge people based on their levels of taqwa and their levels of taqwa depends on what they were capable of. Show Less >>
