I feel I am getting contradictory answers. I don't know which one is right according to Islam, so I will open this up to a vote.

Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Jesus said that He was the truth, the life and the way that leads to eternal life!
Apart from Jesus men have no hope!

I am sorry I do not know Islamic beliefs but I truly believe and feel that if a person does their very best according to what they have been given here in this life that they will recognize and know the truth when they are presented with it, whether it be in this life or in the spiritual plane that awaits every person before the resurrection.
If God (Allah) is just and loving, He could not condemn billions of His children simply because they did not find the truth in the very short existence on earth. How many Muslims, Buddhists, Taoists, have lived, live, and will live without ever having had the opportunity to learn undistorted views on Christianity, and likewise how many Christians will have had the opportunity to learn of Allah and Muhammad His prophet.
The religion to which I belong teaches that all will have ample opportunity to find the truth whether it be in this life or the next.

Islam teaches that God forgives everything, except ascribing partners to Him (or claiming that He has sons and daughters...): “God does not forgive the joining of partners with Him: anything less than that He forgives to whoever He will, but anyone who joins partners with God is lying and committing a tremendous sin.”

Nevertheless, those who repent will always be forgiven, no matter what they did. So the above verse only concerns those who do not repent or ask for forgiveness. Also, if you re-read the "intolerance" part of the file i've sent you, you'll see that Muslims are not the only ones who enter Heaven according to Islam: Jews, Christians, Sabains, anyone who does good and worships God ALONE will enter Heaven, God willing.

It is even possible to argue that even Christians, who believe that Jesus is the son of God or God Himself, might enter Heaven too (though maybe they might be punished first) if Islam was not conveyed to them in an appropriate and convincing manner - especially nowadays when Muslim not only fail in this respect, but also push away non-Muslim through their un-islamic actions (e.g. killing of innocent people). Only those who have been PROPERLY presented with Islam and have willingly rejected it are the ones that will enter Hell, but even then, God is the most merciful of the merciful, & He knows best.

We have to remember that in the end, God's mercy encompasses everything, and that God will forgive people on the Day of Judgement such as no man would think possible. The great catastrophe, however, is when people condemn others to Hell. In Islam, anyone who does that, or says that God won't forgive so and so, his deeds will be brought down to nothing, and God will make him enter Hell for this (i.e. for assuming God's position as Ultimate Judge and telling things of which he has no knowledge) and forgive and admit the other into Heaven.

That's why i dont like "dangerous" questions such as this, because there are too many ignorant persons who dont know the gravity of their words when they condemn others to Hell.

Peace be with you

Well I know a good answer for that. Actually it depends on the situation We can't judge wether that person goes to heaven or hell, only g-d know. Okay, if in case you're a christian who is full of honesty, upright and at the same time worship Jesus and During the period of your life, there is no message of Islam concerning tawheed (the unity of G-d) that comes to your life at all , we muslims are not worthy of judging you wether you're going to heaven or hell because only G-d himself is worthy of judging people, not us human. .

If you worship the ONE true living , full of bounty and majestic
G-d whose throne exalted above the heavens and the earth,
stop taking a prophet or a messiah as mediator or as god even you're still christian,you're nice,honest and upright person, than the chances of going to heaven is slightly better than going to hell.

However, i just want to infrom that in the Quran that G-d is really angry of people calling him the Messiah jesus Son of Mary. He actually cursed the people who said that !!!


Muhammad (PBUH) used to say that "If a disbeliever do good deeds in this world, he or she will have her rewards in this currentlife , but if a believer does good deeds , he or she will have her reward in the hereafter".

Well, by the way, the Al-Hakam is the most best judgers of all !!!
Only he who judge who is going to heaven or hell. Even muslims themselves don't guarantee that they're going to heaven or hell.
Islam is the only religion in the world that is easy for you to go to hell...

Going to heaven is not as simple as you think,it's not just like getting a ticket like many other religions of the world describes.... That's what makes Islam unique than other religions of the world.

I don't think so. All of the alphabet relgions preaches that if you follow a different relgion then you're going to hell. The exception being the scary cult of Apostolic or Dominion Christianity. They think 144,000 Jews will be whipped up to heaven with all the followers of their christian sect come Judgement day.

According to the Koran and hadith worshiping anyone besides Allah is a sin .
Secondly Allah will analyse each person himself and he holds the right to grant punishment or reward.
No matter muslim or non Muslim ,all are liable to hell if Allah finds you worthy of that

-no. the paradise is forbidean on those who join anything beside God in worship.

[72] Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allâh is the Messiah ('Isâ (Jesus)) son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ('Isâ (Jesus)) said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners (in worship) with Allâh, then Allâh has forbidden Paradise to him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers.
Quran 5:72

[48] Verily, Allâh forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He wills; and whoever sets up partners with Allâh in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin.
Quran 4:48

regarding their good things, they may get rewarded in this life. and the Hell has degreese depend how disbeliever they were. but God has forbid paradise on those who took partner with him in worship regardless if they were good or bad.

No, worship only belongs only to the true God Jehovah, of course we have to acnowledge and respect Jesus for he sacrificed his life for us, with many pains and much hardship but by worshiping Jesus they are worshiping the creation rather than the Creator!

The Holy Quran(2:62)"Those who believe the Quran,And those who follow the Jewish (scriptures),And the Christians and the Sabians,
Any who believe in God
And the Last Day,
And work righteousness(do good deeds),
Shall have their reward
With their Lord;
on them
Shall be no fear,nor shall they grieve."

But would that not be intersecting the religions?. I would think that if you believed in God you go to heaven. Two different beliefs, No?
