      @@MrAbc-fz1wqOur Quran recognizes that not all people will choose to be Muslims, and unlike other religious views, Allah judges all people based on how well they follow their revelations that used to be directly from the Divine -until some humans, for political aggrandizement, decided to change certain scriptural teachings from the original.
      In any case, we have many Suras that state the Mercy, Justice, and Bounty of Allah towards all people. I love this aspect of our Holy Quran-for it reminds me, unlike extremist views towards our religion, that Islam was never spread by the sword or common genocide since it is the epitome of peace, tolerance, and respect for all people.
      In one Sura, Allah even notes that We will “test” all people based on their Virtues, “so strive” as in race to attain all virtues.
