Does Allah’s saying: (Of them are the believers, and most of them are the defiantly disobedient) mean that every believing person of the People of the Scripture will enter Paradise?
Whoever dies as a Jew or a Christian after the call of Islam has reached him and he has not believed in our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is a disbeliever. Allah has forbidden Paradise to him and his abode is the Hellfire. The Quran, the Sunnah, and scholarly consensus indicate this. As for Allah Almighty's saying: "Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient," (Quran 3:110) what is meant by it is those among them who embraced Islam, believed, and affirmed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.
