God and His Creation Plan
enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and
Jesus (Quran 42:13)

So, the God of the Torah, the Bible and the Quran is
the same. God sent His prophets to every community in
history to give guidance and only terminated His plan of
sending prophets after the Book revealed to the Prophet
Muhammad, the Quran, became preserved for later
generations.

We raised among every people a messenger
who enjoined, ‘Worship God alone and
shun the evil one.’ (Quran 16:36)

Hence, it is not the case that only the followers of Islam
will be granted salvation and Paradise. The Quran states:

The believers, the Jews, the Christians, and
the Sabaeans—all those who believe in God
and the Last Day and do good deeds—will
be rewarded by their Lord; they shall have
no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Quran 2:62)

9 Why does everyone talk about

fearing God?

e do love God. He is our supreme benefactor, the
Wmost gracious and the most merciful. Piety in human
beings is a manifestation of the love they have for God.
Having fear of God is not in the same sense as having
fear of a ferocious animal. Rather, fear of God is positive
fear and can be understood in the context of obedience
