Bismillah
Quote: Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians, Christians, Magians, and Polytheists,- Allah will judge between them on the Day of Judgment: for Allah is witness of all things.
Those who believe (in the Qur'an), those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Sabians and the Christians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Can you not see there is only THE GOD there is no other.
You are right.
As we decided to reply to this thread in order to properly explain and clarify the confusion which may rise here. I was late in correcting this major false statement, as the thread starter is totally confused about the meaning of this noble Ayah:
Here u will Insh a Allah find the proper explanation for this particular Ayah and more Ayahs addressing the same issue:
http://islamsms.com/bb/index.php?showt...hl=Sabians&st=0
Regarding the alcohol drinking, the second and last stage of making alcohol strictly prohibited:
"O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, Al Ansaab, and Al Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaytaan's (Satan) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful." (Quran 5:90)
Because we are looking forward for readers not to be confused.
In Arabic the word ejtanebouh which is translated as avoid is more effective in the sense that prohibited. ejtanabouh means to totally stay away from, that is why the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam explained in a hadeeth that we should not sit with one who drinks, serve alcohol, buy it or sell leave alone drinking it. Alhamdulelah.
