The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to call Judaism and Christianity heavenly religions? And is it permissible to describe them as our brothers in humanity?
The Shaykh:
Their origin is heavenly religions. Judaism and Christianity are originally heavenly religions, because the Jews were originally followers of Moses (peace be upon him), and their book is the Torah, and the Christians were originally followers of 'Isa, and their book is the Gospel, and they are all from the Children of Israel. But when Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, the Torah and the Gospel and the previous religions were abrogated and unified in the religion of Islam with which Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent. And you have heard that whoever remains upon Judaism or Christianity after the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is a disbeliever. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And "our brothers in humanity" does not avail anything without the religion; it does not avail anything.
