Question:
Assalaam alaikum Hazrat
What should be our behavior towards Non Muslims especially Hindus? As Hindus worship Idols so should we hate them for doing this sin or should we pray for them and feel compassion for them also that May Allah be merciful to them also and guide them towards truth.
2) If people of the book believe in Oneness of God, then do they have to revert to Islam for salvation ?
3)Please pray for me to be steadfast on Islam and my family to embrace Islam as my life is becoming very difficult due to the Non Muslim family.
JazakAllah khair from the bottom of my heart !
Forgive me for my shortcomings.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
1. We should pray for non-Muslims, feel compassion for them that Allah be merciful to them also and guide them towards truth including Hindus.
2. By in the biblical nature of God as trinitarian, Christians appear to be unbelievers destined for eternal judgment. Islam does not guarantee that Christians or Jews can have salvation if they remain indifferent to the teachings of Islam being the last revelation to mankind.
