Question:
Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted.
Answer:
As in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:83] "And what reason have we not to believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has come to us" [Al-Ma'idah 5:84]. [Al-Ma'idah 5:84-85] [Al-Ma'idah 5:86] This was revealed regarding the believers among the Christians, such as the Najashi (may Allah have mercy on him), for he believed in the Messenger and believed in the Qur'an. When he heard the Qur'an, he wept. He said, "This is like what used to be revealed to Moses (peace be upon him)." Yes.

And indeed, among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allah and what was revealed to you and what was revealed to them, [being] humbly submissive to Allah. They do not exchange the verses of Allah for a small price.

Answer:
As in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they have recognized of the truth. They say, "Our Lord, we have believed, so register us among the witnesses.
وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ تَرَىٰ أَعْيُنَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُوا مِنَ الْحَقِّ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَAnd why should we not believe in Allah and what has come to us of the truth? And we aspire that our Lord
وَمَا لَنَا لَا نُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَمَا جَاءَنَا مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَنَطْمَعُ أَن يُدْخِلَنَا رَبُّنَاwith the righteous people." (85) So Allah rewarded them for what they said with gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of doers of good.
مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الصَّالِحِينَ فَأَثَابَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِمَا قَالُوا جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَاءُ الْمُحْسِنِينَBut those who disbelieved and denied Our signs - they are the companions of Hellfire.
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ
