Will Jews and Christians be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection and in the grave, just like Muslims? And is allowing them to be buried next to Muslim graves a mockery of the religion?

All people, including Jews and Christians, will be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection, for Allah, the Almighty, says: "And fear a Day when you will be returned to Allah. Then every soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged," and "So how [will it be] when We assemble them for a Day about which there is no doubt? And each soul will be compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged." Moreover, the torment of the grave for Jews and Christians has been affirmed. It is not permissible to bury a disbeliever in Muslim cemeteries, nor to bury a Muslim in disbelievers' cemeteries, except out of necessity.
