Ibrâhim (Abraham) was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true
Muslim Hanifa (Islâmic Monotheism - to worship none but Allâh Alone)
and he was not of Al-Mushrikûn.
Hadith - Saheeh Muslim, vol. 1, no. 284
"By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, there is none from
amongst the Jews and the Christians (of these present nations) who
hears about me and thendies without believing in the Message with
which Ihave been sent (i.e. tawheed), but he will be from the dwellers
of the (Hell) Fire."
The Noble Quran 4:89
They wish that you rejectFaith, as they have rejected (Faith), and
thus that you all become equal (like one another). So take not Auliyâ'
(protectors or friends) from them, till they emigrate in the Way of
Allâh (to Muhammad SAW). But if they turn back (from Islâm), take
(hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them, and take neither
Auliyâ' (protectors or friends) nor helpers fromthem.
Narration - Ibn Taymeeyah in Al-Jawaabus-Saheeh Liman Baddala
Deenal-Maseeh (The Correct Response for those who Altered the Religion
of 'Eessa) [Riyaadh, KSA: Daarul 'Aasimah, 1414/1993] vol. 2, pp.
212-213.
"As to whether Jews and Christians of our times are from the People of
the Book or not, one firstshould understand what the term "People of
the Book" means. It means that original Books were revealed to their
prophets, Musa and 'Eessa, respectively. When they held to the
beliefs of 'Eessa and Musa, they were not kuffaar . However, when
they continued to believein the altered and abrogated forms of
theseBooks and commit shirk , they because kuffaar, even though they
are stillreferred to as "People of the Book". Allah knew they would
alter the Books and warned them against that. He, saaws, still refers
to themin the Qur'an as "People of The Book," and clearly states that
they have committed kufr and deviated from the path of tawheed which
their prophets called them to adhere to."
The Noble Qur'an 3:85
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm,it will never be
accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.
The People of The Book, who later accept the revelation of The Qur'an
as the final revelation and believe in Islamic monotheism(tawheed),
are promised a double reward.
Hadith - Bukhari and Muslim, vol. 4, no. 255, p. 158.
It has been confirmed that the Prophet said: "Three persons will get
their reward twice [i.e. a double reward]. [One is] a person who has
a slave girl and he educates her properly and teacher her good manners
properly [without violence] and then manumits and marries her. Such a
person will get a double reward. [Another is] a believer from the
People of the Scriptures who hasbeen a true believer [in his Prophet
], and then he believes in the Prophet [Muhammad ]. Such a person
will receive a double reward. [The third is] a slave man who observes
Allah's rights and is sincere to his master [and observes therights of
his master]. "
The Noble Qur'an 5:82
Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the
believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikûn (see
V.2:105), and you will find the nearest in love to the believers
(Muslims)those who say: "We are Christians." That is because amongst
them are priests and monks, and they are not proud.
