Al-Ma'idah 5:69

Word by word

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـُٔونَ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًا فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Indeed, those who have believed [in Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] and those [before him (ﷺ)] who were Jews or Sabeans or Christians - those [among them] who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

إن الذين آمنوا (وهم المسلمون) واليهود، -والصابئون كذلك (وهم قوم باقون على فطرتهم، ولا دين مقرر لهم يتبعونه) - والنصارى (وهم أتباع المسيح) من آمن منهم بالله الإيمان الكامل، وهو توحيد الله والتصديق بمحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وبما جاء به، وآمن باليوم الآخر، وعمل العمل الصالح، فلا خوف عليهم من أهوال يوم القيامة، ولا هم يحزنون على ما تركوه وراءهم في الدنيا.
