Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a difference between the People of the Book and the polytheists?
Answer:
Yes. The People of the Book believe in Allah with a general belief, and they believe in the angels and the messengers with a general belief. As for the polytheists, they deny the messengers; they deny the messengers, and they do not believe in the resurrection, nor do they believe in the messengers. So there is a great difference. Yes.
