What is the validity of the term "heavenly religions"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on these phrases, such as "respecting the heavenly religions"?

Answer:
This is invalid; all religions are invalid except the religion of Islam. Judaism and Christianity, and others, are not respected religions except the religion of Islam. Judaism is invalid, Christianity is invalid, Zoroastrianism is invalid, polytheism is invalid, communism is invalid, and secularism is invalid. Everything that people call a religion other than Islam is invalid and is not respected; rather, one must warn against it. It is obligatory for the Jews, the Christians, and all the inhabitants of the earth, from jinn and humans, that they all enter into Islam.
the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those whoالدِّينَ عِندَ اللَّهِ الْإِسْلَامُ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ الَّذِينَ
[Ali 'Imran 3:19]
and the jinn, except to worship Him. And except to worship Him, Islam is obligatory. Worship is the Islam that Allah prescribed for His servants; it is the worship of which He speaks. So it is upon the Jews, the Christians, the Zoroastrians, and all the polytheists, the communists, and every one of the jinn and humans—upon the jinn—that they enter into Islam. It is upon all the inhabitants of the earth, from the disbelievers, whether jinn or humans, that they enter into Islam. And whatever is other than Islam is invalid.
