Sura Fussilat from 39 to 46

39. And among His Signs ( in this ) , that you see the earth barren; but when We send down water ( rain ) to it, it is stirred to life and growth ( of vegetations ) . Verily, He Who gives it life, surely, is Able to give life to the dead ( on the Day of Resurrection ) . Indeed He is Able to do all things.
40. Verily, those who turn away from Our Ayât ( proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc. by attacking, distorting and denying them ) are not hidden from Us. Is he who is cast into the Fire better or he who comes secure on the Day of Resurrection? Do what you will. Verily He is All- Seer of what you do ( this is a severe threat to the disbelievers [ 1 ] ) .
41. Verily, those who disbelieved in the Reminder ( i.e. the Qur’ân ) when it came to them ( shall receive the punishment ) . And verily, it is an honourable well- fortified respected Book ( because it is Allâh’s Speech, and He has protected it from corruption. ( See V.15:9 )
42. Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it: ( it is ) sent down by the All- Wise, Worthy of all praise ( Allâh ( Lord Almighty and Exalted ) ) .
43. Nothing is said to you ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) except what was said to the Messengers before you. Verily, your Lord is the Possessor of Forgiveness, and ( also ) the Possessor of Painful Punishment. [ 2 ]
44. And if We had sent this as a Qur’ân in a foreign language ( other than Arabic ) , they would have said: « Why are not its verses explained in detail ( in our language ) ? What! ( A Book ) not in Arabic and ( the Messenger ) an Arab? » Say: « It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness ( deafness ) in their ears, and it ( the Qur’ân ) is blindness for them. They are those who are called from a place far away ( so they neither listen nor understand ) . »
45. And indeed We gave Mûsâ ( Moses ) the Scripture, but dispute arose therein. And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, ( the torment would have overtaken them ) and the matter would have been settled between them. But truly, they are in grave doubt thereto ( i.e. about the Qur’ân ) . [ Tafsir Al- Qurtubi ] .
46. Whosoever does righteous good deed, it is for ( the benefit of ) his ownself; and whosoever does evil, it is against his ownself. And your Lord is not at all unjust to ( His ) slaves. [ 3 ]

c ) Narrated Abu Mûsâ ( raa ) : The Prophet ( saas ) said, « The example of Muslims, Jews and Christians is like the example of a man who employed labourers to work for him from morning till night for specific wages. They worked till mid- day and then said, We do not need your money which you have fixed for us and let whatever we have done be annulled.’ The man said to them, ‘Don’t quit the work, but complete the rest of it and take your full wages.’ But they refused and went away ( like the Jews who refused to believe in the Message of Jesus ( as ) ) . The man employed another batch after them and said to them, ‘Complete the rest of the day and yours will be the wages I had fixed for the first batch.’ So, they worked till the time of ‘Asr Prayer. They said, ‘Let what we have done be annulled and keep the wages you have promised us for yourself!’ The man said to them, ‘Complete the rest of the work, as only a little of the day remains’: but they refused ( like the Christians who refused to believe in the Message of Muhammad ( saas ) ) . Thereafter, he employed another batch to work for the rest of the day, and they worked for the rest of the day till the sunset, and they received the wages of the two former batches. So that was the example of these people ( Muslims ) and the example of this light [ Islâmic Monotheism, the Qur’ân, the Sunnah ( legal ways of the Prophet ( saas ) ) and the guidance which Prophet Muhammad ( saas ) brought ] which they have accepted willingly. » * ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.3, Hadith No.471 ) .
* The Jews refused to believe in the Message of ‘Îsâ ( Jesus ) , so all their work was annulled; similarly the Christians refused to accept the Message of Muhammad ( saas ) and thus their work was annulled too. Such people were not rewarded, because they refused to have true faith for the rest of their lives and died as disbelievers. They should have believed in the latest Message; for their insistence on keeping their old religion deprived them of the reward which they would have got for their previous good deeds achieved before the advent of the new religion. On the other hand, Muslims accepted and believed in all the three Messages and deserved a full reward for their complete surrender to Allâh ( Al- Qastalâni, Vol.4, Page 133 ) .
