Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Do the People of the Book, the Jews and the Christians, believe in the Resurrection, or are they like the disbelievers who do not believe in the Resurrection?
Answer:
They believe in the Resurrection and they believe in the messengers in general. So they are like the polytheists. The People of the Book believe in Allah, they believe in the angels, and they believe in the messengers and the books in general. Even if they deny some of them or reject some of them. But they are in a better state than the illiterate polytheists and the atheists. Yes.
