The Reward To People Of The Book

[TheStudent]

Hadith where the Prophet says:"Three persons will have a double reward:

A Person from the people of the scriptures who
believed in his prophet (Jesus or Moses) and then
believed in the Prophet Muhammad (i.e. has
embraced Islam).

A slave who discharges his duties to Allah and his
master.

A master of a woman-slave who teaches her good
manners and educates her in the best possible
way (the religion) and manumits her and then
marries her."

More "rewards" to the People of the Book (Jews and Christians)

Sahih Muslim Book 019, Number 4363: - click here -

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira who said: We were (sitting) in the mosque when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came to us and said: (Let us) go to the Jews. We went out with him until we came to them. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) stood up and called out to them (saying): O ye assembly of Jews, accept Islam (and) you will be safe. They said: Abu'l-Qasim, you have communicated (God's Message to us). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I want this (i. e. you should admit that God's Message has been communicated to you), accept Islam and you would be safe. They said: Abu'l-Qisim, you have communicated (Allah's Message). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: I want this... - He said to them (the same words) the third time (and on getting the same reply) he added: You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I wish that I should expel you from this land. Those of you who have any property with them should sell it, otherwise they should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle (and they may have to go away leaving everything behind).

Sahih Muslim Book 019, Number 4366: - click here -

It has been narrated by 'Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.

Yeah.... what great "rewards" this Muhammad offered People of the Book (Jews and Christians).

I think all those messengers, Holy Books, prophets, scripture, word of God, etcetera, are just guide lines. If you must believe in something, believe in your heart. Happiness lies in the depths of our heart or the soul. Where the soul meets the Spirit is where we get our REWARD!

The heart is wickedly corrupt and does not seek after what is good. We are unable to seek God without His stepping up to us and regenerating our wicked hearts. You may think that following what you feel is the path to happiness but it is nothing more then a gentle hand leading you down to hell.
