Respected Dr. Zakir Naik addressing a young Hindu woman in a YouTube clip said that being a Muslim is the key to entering Jannat.
At the end of the answer, the Muslims sitting there clapped. The clapping showed the Muslims considered themselves heaven-bound and the Hindus (non-Muslims) hell-bound. This is very demeaning to other religions. This is sad! How can Muslims be complacent about their being chosen to enter God's chosen Paradise?
Had Dr. Zakir Naik been born a Hindu, I think he would have declared that being a Hindu is the key to entering Bhagwan's (God's) paradise!
God is most fair. He has laid down simple criteria to enter His chosen Paradise:
Qur'an (2:62): "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". Likewise in the Qur'an (5:69): "Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabians and the Christians whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good-they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve".
Further, the Qur'an (2:111-113): "And they say, "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is [merely] their wishful thinking, Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful." Yes [on the contrary], whoever submits his face to God while being a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve".
The birth of a soul in any faith DOES NOT make one heaven or hell-bound. Only the 'conscious' relationship with God, based on one's capability, determines one's salvation:
Qur'an (7:42): "But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally".
God is (most) fair!
