Two points:  AQEEDAH HONOR
“We Believe Jews and Christians will enter paradise because  God says in the Quran…”  Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the  Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. 					– Quran 2:62
Two ways of  understanding this ayah: Either : This ayah is talking about all the Jews, Christians and Sabians who have ever existed or will exist  Or This ayah is talking about the historical Jews, Christians and  Sabians who followed their respective Prophets Which understanding is correct?
The Importance of Principles  Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein many contradictions. 					-Quran 4:82 Principle:   The understanding of one ayah cannot contradict another ayah.  This is the first principle in Usool at-Tafseer:  We start the  Tafseer of the Quran with the Quran itself.
Many Ayat talk about the fate of the Jews and Christians*, for example: Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the  mushrikeen will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein.  Those are the worst of creatures. 			-Quran 98:6 So now, which understanding Is correct? *For more on this subject see Sh. YasirQadhi’s “Salvific Exclusivity” on the MuslimMatters blog:       http://muslimmatters.org/2008/01/23/salvific-exclusivity-part-one/
