Question:
Questions have reached us, and I hope this question is at the top of the list: a large, wide sheet of paper was written on it: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Dear reader, I send you the warmest greetings and the most sincere ones, and I ask Allah that you find this message in the best of conditions and the most pleasant of states. It continued listing such praise and greetings, saying: One can quote many of these eternal words from the words of the Lord Jesus. You hear him say: Whoever drinks from the water that I give him will never thirst again; rather, the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water, welling up to eternal life. And the Lord Jesus says: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. I came to offer myself as a ransom for many, for the forgiveness of sins. And so on. And at the end it says: We would be very pleased if you, dear reader, would like us to send you a copy of the Gospel in Arabic to any address you wish, and there is absolutely no commitment on your part. With the warmest expressions of affection and friendship, signed: Followers of Christ, Isa ibn Maryam.
Answer:
This is what the questioner mentioned, and many of this pamphlet and its like have been found. The state and the officials took an interest, and the one responsible for it is His Excellency the Minister of the Interior, to care for this matter and strive to put an end to these pamphlets and prevent their entry by all means available to those in charge of the Kingdom's entry points.
There is no doubt that this is one of their insidious calls, the calls of the Christians. They lie about Jesus with much lying, just as the Jews lie about Moses and the prophets with much lying. The Jews killed the prophets unjustly, so it is not surprising that they lie about them. The Christians are ignorant and misguided, as Allah has made clear about them that they are misguided. Therefore, they lie without insight. Some of them lie deliberately to mislead people, and some are ignorant and think they are correct, that they are doing good, and that this is calling to good. They think they are among the people of Paradise, but they are misguided and misguiding, among the people of the Fire. We seek refuge in Allah from their state.
What is authentic regarding Isa (peace be upon him) is that he is a prophet among the prophets. What is authentic from him means that adhering to the Shari'ah he brought in his time, and after his time, when Muhammad (peace be upon him) came, is the cause of all good, and the cause of salvation and happiness in this world and the Hereafter. There is no doubt in this. The Shari'ahs of all the prophets are guidance, and all are good. Whoever followed the Shari'ah of Moses in his time, and after his time before it was abrogated, is upon good and guidance.
Likewise, whoever followed the Shari'ah of Isa after Isa (peace be upon him) was sent, and he came to complete the Shari'ah of the Torah, whoever was upon his Shari'ah and was upright upon it, is upon good and guidance. But after the sending of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the matter ended. After Allah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), their Shari'ahs ended, and it became obligatory to follow this Prophet (peace be upon him), Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is not permissible to follow the Shari'ah of Moses, or Isa, or anyone else, because they were abrogated. The truth of them was abrogated by what Muhammad (peace be upon him) brought. And what they distorted and altered is false from its origin.
Therefore, it is not permissible for anyone to turn away from the Shari'ah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) after his sending to any other Shari'ah, not the Shari'ah of Moses, not the Shari'ah of Isa, nor anything else. Rather, it is obligatory for all the inhabitants of the earth, from the jinn and humans, the Jews, the Christians, and others, it is obligatory for them all to submit to the Shari'ah of Muhammad (peace be upon him). Because Allah said: [Al-A'raf: 158] And He said before this: [Al-A'raf: 157]
The believers are the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). And He said: [Saba: 28] So whoever deviates from his Shari'ah after Allah sent him, and remains upon Judaism, or Christianity, or Zoroastrianism, or anything else, he is among the people of the Fire. We seek refuge in Allah.
Allah said:[Hud 11:17] And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 153 So whoever hears what Muhammad (peace be upon him) brought, then turns away from it, and remains upon something else, he becomes among the people of the Fire. We seek refuge in Allah.
This insidious Christian pamphlet, and what comes in its meaning, must be warned against, and it must be torn up when a person finds it, and he should not pay attention to it. Rather, he should tear it up, warn against it, and warn his brothers of it. They have much ugly activity everywhere in misleading people, and calling them to Christianity, and making them disdain Islam, and calling them to licentiousness, and abandoning the Shari'ahs and rulings. This is all part of their affair from ancient times, and in these times especially, they have become active everywhere, and they have established schools, and hospitals, and clinics everywhere, for calling to falsehood, to Christianity, and for attacking Islam, and for calling to abandon it. This is the affair of the misguided enemies of Allah, the Christians and others. So it is obligatory to beware of them!

قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعاًSo they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.
فَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ بِهِ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَاتَّبَعُواْ النُّورَ الَّذِيَ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُ أُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَThe believers are the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). And He said:
And We have not sent you except comprehensively to mankind as a bringer of good tidings and a warner
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا كَافَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيراً وَنَذِيراًAllah said:
But whoever disbelieves in it from the [various] factions - the Fire is his promised destination
وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الأَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُBy Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad, he who amongst the community of Jews or Christians hears about me, but does not affirm his belief in that with which I have been sent and dies in this state (of disbelief), he shall be but one of the denizens of Hell-Fire.
والذي نفسي بيده لا يسمع بي أحد من هذه الأمة، يهودي، ولا نصراني، ثم يموت، ولم يؤمن بالذي أرسلت به؛ إلا كان من أهل النارThis insidious Christian pamphlet, and what comes in its meaning, must be warned against, and it must be torn up when a person finds it, and he should not pay attention to it.
