Bismillah
as salam alykom
with all due respect to such a distinguished scholar but the ayah as interpreted by him leaves out Jews and christians who revert back to Islam in our modern time. And since Quran is a book that covers with its contents all times.
Then I think the Ayah as explained before is simply stating that whoever believes in Allah and the Day After as brought in Islam shall be safe.
Simply because the Ayahs' even included the Sebians and Sebians are those who followed Nuh and then apostated.
So to just make it simple, if any of the mentioned categories came back to Islam, or was a follower of the true religion brough by their respective Prophets shall be safe.
wallahu A`lam
