Surat Al Baqarah (62)

{ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَالَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَالنَّصَارَى وَالصَّابِئِينَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ } [البقرة: 62]

62- Everyone of the Jews, Christians and the Sabians (a group of people in Iraq or those whom the message of Allah did not reach) have truly believed in Allah, in the Day of the Recompense, and perfected their faith with good deeds. They shall have the great reward because of the righteous deeds they had done. They shall be secured from fear and shall not be grieved concerning their offspring or wealth. What really matters was the soundness of their faith and following their Prophet. This was effective before the mission of Prophet Muhammad, but after his mission, no religion shall be accepted, as a true religion but Islam. (And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.) [Al Imran: 85].
