The question

Will everyone who says "Lā ilāha illā Allāh" enter Paradise, even if they were Jewish, based on the Hadith of Intercession which mentions that Allah will bring out of Hell "whoever said Lā ilāha illā Allāh"?

The answer

The narrations about intercession are only for the people of faith and monotheism, even if they have no good deeds other than monotheism. As for the Jews, they are neither believers nor monotheists; rather, they are disbelievers and polytheists because of their statements: "Uzair is the son of Allah" and "The hand of Allah is chained," and other such remarks. Even if we assume that some of them believe in Allah, that will not benefit them unless they believe in Muhammad (peace be upon him) and in the Qur'an, because they disbelieve in what Allah has revealed.
