People have a keen interest especially in this day and age in justifying their interfaith propaganda and mission to link those who were given the Kitaab with people of Imaan (faith in their famous dialogue). They even refer to them as people of faith.
Allah Ta’alaa says:
فَاِنۡ حَآجُّوۡكَ فَقُلۡ اَسۡلَمۡتُ وَجۡهِىَ لِلّٰهِ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِؕ وَقُل لِّلَّذِيۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡاُمِّيّٖنَ ءَاَسۡلَمۡتُمۡؕ فَاِنۡ اَسۡلَمُوۡا فَقَدِ اهۡتَدَوْا ۚ وَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاِنَّمَا عَلَيۡكَ الۡبَلٰغُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بَصِيۡرٌۢ بِالۡعِبَاد (20)
Translation:
Then, if they argue with you, say: “I have submitted myself to Allah, and (so did) those who have followed me.”
And say to those who have been given the Book, and to the unlettered: Do you submit?” If they submit, they will be on the right path. And if they turn back, then you have only to convey. And Allah is watchful over His servants. ؏
Lesson
Allah Ta’alaa clearly says that if the people of the book submit to Islam then they are guided. What is the opposite of guidance? And what does it mean if they do not submit?
It means that they have committed Kufr and there is no space to accommodate one another.
Allah Ta’alaa in Suratul Kaafiroon, verse 6 clearly makes the separation for us. SO SAY TO THEM:
لَكُمْ دِيْنُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِيْنِ (6)
Translation:For you is your faith, and for me, my faith. (there is no interfaith )؏
