Allah tells us about the followers of these various religions, the believers
(Muslims) and others such as the Jews and Sabians. We have already seen a
definition of them in Surat Al-Baqarah and have noted how people differ over who
they are. There are also the Christians, Majus and others who worship others
alongside Allah. Allah will
[يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُمْ
يَوْمَ الْقِيـمَةِ]
(judge between them on the Day of Resurrection) with justice; He will admit
those who believed in Him to Paradise and will send those who disbelieved in Him
to Hell, for He is a Witness over their deeds, and He knows all that they say
and all that they do in secret, and conceal in their breast.
[أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ
اللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَن فِى الاٌّرْضِ وَالشَّمْسُ
وَالْقَمَرُ وَالنُّجُومُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنَ
النَّاسِ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَذَابُ وَمَن يُهِنِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن
مُّكْرِمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ ]
(18. See you not that whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth,
and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and
Ad-Dawabb, and many of mankind prostrate themselves to Allah. But there are many
(men) on whom the punishment is justified. And whomsoever Allah disgraces, none
can honor him. Verily, Allah does what He wills.)
