عن أبي هريرة أن رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ قال: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لا يَسْمَعُ بِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ هذِهِ الأُمَّةِ يَهُودِيٌّ وَلا نَصْرَانِيٌّ، ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِالَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ: إِلَّا كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ» رواه مسلم
Abu Hurayrah narrated that:
God’s Messenger (peace be upon him said: By Him who holds Muhammad’s soul in His hand, anyone in this nation who hears of me, whether Jew or Christian,and then dies without believing in what I have been sent with, shall be among the dwellers in the Fire.

The only true faith acceptable to God is Islam [i.e. man’s self-surrender to Him]. Disagreements spread, through mutual aggression, among those who were given revelations only after knowledge had been granted to them. He who denies God’s revelations will find that God is indeed swift in reckoning.
(3: 19)
He who seeks a religion other than Islam [i.e. self-surrender to God], it will not be accepted from him, and in the life to come he will be among the lost. (85) How shall God guide people who have lapsed into disbelief after having accepted the faith and having borne witness that this messenger is true, and after having received clear evidence of the truth? God does not guide the wrongdoers. (86) Of such people the punishment shall be the curse of God, the angels and all men. (87) Under it they shall abide. Neither their suffering shall be lightened, nor shall they be granted respite.
(3: 85-88)
As for him who, after guidance has been plainly conveyed to him, puts himself in contention with God’s Messenger and follows a path other than that of the believers – him shall We leave to that which he himself has chosen, and shall cause him to endure Hell. How evil a journey’s end.
(4: 115)
