    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـُٔونَ وَٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ مَنۡ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ

    Transliteration:( Innal lazeena aamanoo wallazeena haadoo was saabi'oona wan Nasaaraa man aamana billaahi wal yawmil Aakhiri wa 'amila saalihan falaa khawfun 'alaihim wa laa hum yahzanoon )

    69. Surely, those who believe [208], and similarly the Yahud, the Sabians (star worshippers), and the Nasara—whoever among them believes in Allah and the Last Day [209], with a true heart and acts righteously, shall neither have any fear nor shall they grieve [210]. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

    (69) Indeed, those who have believed [in Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] and those [before him (ﷺ)] who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians - those [among them] who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.[275] (Saheen International Translation)

    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Ma’idah – Verse 69

    69. Surely, those who believe [208], and similarly the Yahud, the Sabians (star worshippers), and the Nasara—whoever among them believes in Allah and the Last Day [209], with a true heart and acts righteously, shall neither have any fear nor shall they grieve [210].

    ✅ [208] True Belief vs. Mere Profession:

    This verse distinguishes between nominal believers—those who only recite the Kalima and identify as Muslims by nationality or community—and true believers with genuine faith in their hearts. It indicates that some groups who claim Islam (e.g., Qadiyanis, Chakralwics) are not true believers but only nominal followers. True faith requires heartfelt conviction, not just outward affiliation.

    ✅ [209] Believers Among Other Communities:

    The verse acknowledges that among the People of the Book (Yahud/Jews and Nasara/Christians) and the Sabians (star worshippers), some may truly believe in Allah and the Last Day with sincere faith. Mere membership in these communities does not guarantee faith, but sincere belief is recognized regardless of community.

    ✅ [210] Fearlessness and Righteousness:

    Those who believe sincerely and act righteously have no cause for fear or grief. The verse links the fear of Allah (taqwa) as the spiritual cause for achieving true peace and confidence in this world and the hereafter. Such believers are considered saints with elevated spiritual status.
