Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on this statement? That the three heavenly religions are Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.
Answer:
If his intention is to equate them and that he gives a person the choice to be a Jew, a Christian, or a Muslim, and that they are all Muslims, then this is among the greatest of misguidance, and I seek refuge in Allah, and it is atheism, because Judaism and Christianity were abrogated by Islam, so nothing remains except the religion of Islam alone, which Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) brought. It was abrogated, and nothing remains except the religion of Islam.[Ali 'Imran 3:85] And Islam after the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is only what he brought, only what he brought, so no religion remains other than Islam, and whoever is on other than Islam is among the people of the Fire, whoever he may be. Yes.

And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
