Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish,

the Christians, and the converts; anyone who believes

in God, and believes in the Last Day, and leads a righteous

life, will receive their recompense from their Lord.  They have

nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

2:62
 


 
We are told in 5:72-73 that all who believe in the 'trinity' or that Jesus is God in the flesh are disbelievers. Consequently, it is clear that in 2:62 God is not speaking of all Christians. For the Christians who uphold the trinity and the divinity of Jeses, the god whom they believe in, and who is a third of a trinity is not the real God. The god whom they believe in who attained the form of a man (Jesus) and was crucified for our sins, once again is not the real God. The real God is One, Almighty and is unseen. The real God created Jesus and all the universe. Therefore, 2:62 does not speak of such Christians.

However, God is aware that among people of various religious backgrounds (Jewish, Christian, etc) there are those who believe in the One Almighty God and worship Him genuinely. They are the ones spoken of in 2:62. They have nothing to fear nor will they grieve.

The fanatic Muslims always seem distressed when reminded of this particular verse. Out of prejudice, they do not relich the idea that some Jews and some Christians are destined for heaven. Sadly, they have reduced the religion of Islam to being the religion of the Quran and of Muhammad! Once again they only show their ignorance with the Quran. It is instated in the Quran that Islam is as old as Abraham.

God is also aware that among the Jews and other creeds there are the pure worshippers of God who lead a righteous life. They too shall be rewarded and will not grieve.
