Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I have a question and I hope you will clarify the truth of it to me. Why do the People of the Book receive two rewards when they enter Islam? Because they believed in their Prophet and in our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), whereas we do not have this virtue, even though we have believed in all the Prophets and Messengers.
Answer:
But we did not catch up with them or act according to their Shari'ah. They acted according to both Shari'ahs, they acted according to both Shari'ahs, whereas we acted according to the Shari'ah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) only. Yes.
