Surah 2:62 - need opinion by people of the book(jews, christians) and muslims alike (OP)
i thought this would be an interseting topic for jews, christians and muslims.
''Those who believed, the jews, the christians, and the sabiaens
- any who believe in God and the last day and work righteous, shall
have their reward with the lord, on them shall be no fear nor shall
they grieve''
somebody please explain this, how can this all be?. i thought islam was ''true religion, why would they have a surah about jews, christians and sabiaens getting salvation when the quran says it was them that played around Gods true message, and the sabieans ? ? ? , why would they get salvation they left ''true religion'' known as islam. how the quran first say they corrupted Gods message and preached falsehood, then have a surah about them getting salvation. ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
It seems we now have a discussion on whether verse 2.62 has actually been abrogated or not. At the risk of repeating myself, can I ask: is it common for this verse to cause confusion? Is it easy to see how people could get confused by it?

Once again, jazakAllah khair br. Kadafi for the help, it is greatly appreciated. I actually don't think there is any real disagreement between us on this issue since you're talking about the abrogation of previous religions, which is unanimously agreed upon. Inshaa'Allah I plan to do some more research on this and I'll come back to this discussion when I arrive at verse 2:62 in the list of alleged contradictions, inshaa'Allah.

,
You asked for opinions from muslims and people of the book alike. Well I am a Sabi, and Sabis are one of the peoples of the book mentioned in the Quran. Basically I think it means that Sabi`ah hunafa` have nothing to fear, while Sabi`ah Mushrikoon are in trouble. Of course I know that there are muslims who think that all Sabis are damned, but I suppose they are entitled to their opinion, as long as they don't try to force it upon others and gang up on us to eradicate us as Kafirs, then I have no problem with them. Sabis must take a rational approach to scriptures and test everything with the faculties of reasoning that Allah (SWT) has given us. It is considered a blessing to believe in the prophets and their books as a conclusion from one's own reasoning but it is not compulsory on all Sabi`een to believe so, basically we are either guided or not. Those who are guided will be ok those who are not will be in trouble. It is not for one person to tell another that they are not guided, or that they are beyond guidance.
