The Prophet (saas) warned the People of the Book in the best way,
and communicated to them, not a distorted, polytheistic form of religion,
but rather Allah's final revelation. In the same way as with the disbe-
lievers, the Prophet (saas) did not put pressure on the People of the Book,
but simply conferred to them advice.
One of the main features of the People of the Book, and the Jews in
particularly, is that they also see themselves as the dearest servants of
Allah and claim that none but themselves can enter Paradise. Several
verses in the Qur'an treat such a claim. The Qur'an reveals the answer
given by the Prophet (saas) to that baseless assertion of theirs, which is
unfounded:
W h e n t h e y a r e t o l d , " B e l i e v e i n w h a t A l l a h h a s s e n t d o w n , "
When they are told, "Believe in what Allah has sent down,"

,
