Assalamu alaykum
I have a loaded question to ask insha'Allah, and I'm not necessarily looking for a direct answer from here (unless there's some scholars around! lol)
But I was thinking about salvation, Jannah, and non-Muslims (Christians, in particular, as my family is Christian). Two ayat came to mind:
Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve. - 2:62
Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allah in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin. - 4:48
It's my understanding that an article of Christian faith is that Jesus (a.s.) is the begotten son of Allah Aza Wajal.. and that Jesus is Allah himself! Astaughfirullah.
Isn't this shirk?
Again I understand not just anyone can answer this question for me with wisdom, but I was wondering if there has been previous conversation about it and if someone can show me to it!
I'm asking humbly. Allahu alim.
Jazakallahu khayr.
