Abstract
This topic has been under discussion that Jews and Christians are
non-Muslims or they are just considered People of Book (Aihle-e-Kitab).
Most of the Islamic scholars of the world are of the view that Jews and
Christians come in the category of non-believers but a section of
Muslim ummah argues that in the light of the Holy Quran, Jews and
Christians are called People of Book and they are not non-Muslims.
They can only be termed as People of Book. The Holy Quran makes
mention of the People of Book forty one times and every time it explains
non-Muslims and People of Book separately. From this point of view, it
becomes quite clear that non-Muslims and People of Book are entirely
two different religious terms/faiths. Moreover, some Jews and Christians
have preached the oneness of Allah Almighty. However, Muslim scholars
and religious experts should treat them as People of Book rather than
the Jews and Christians so that a vast gulf of differences may be bridged
for humanity..
