[Insaan]

Will a hindu go to jahannam if he worshipped idols but followed the rules of hinduism correctly thinking that hinduism was the correct religion?

[KamranAli]

Those who do not believe in Islam can be classified into two groups:
1. Those who are termed ‘Jahil-e-Muqassir’ (lit. ‘culpable ignorant’). These are non-believers to whom the message of Islam has reached and who have understood its truthfulness. However, they are not prepared to accept the truth due to their stubbornness. This group deserves to be punished in Hell.

2. Those who are termed ‘Jahil-e-Qasir’ (lit. ‘inculpable ignorant’). These are non-believers to whom the message of Islam has not reached (for example a Masai living in a jungle or even in the most civilized of places, have remained unaware of the true message of Islam), or it has been presented to them in a very incomplete and untruthful manner (for example incorrect and unrealistic information about Islam is given to them in a way that a religion of mercy, love and justice is portrayed as a religion of violence, oppression and injustice). Such people will attain salvation if they are truthful to their own religion.

In conclusion, TRUTH and SALVATION are two different things. Islam is the only true religion but it doesn’t mean that only Muslims will get the salvation rather Jahil-e-Qasir may get the salvation as well.
