Why don't we change the tone a little? Assuming the existence of heaven and hell, would the following people go to heaven or hell?
1) A devout Christian, a Reverend, who obviously attends church every Sunday, went to Sunday school every Sunday as a child without objecting. He had read the Bible numerous times, and watches that weird Christian Channel on TV. However, he is also a mass murderer and has killed hundreds of people.
2) An Atheist who has never been to church in his life, dismisses the Bible as the rantings of a lunatic, doesn't give anything up for Lent or go carolling on Christmas, but he is also a doctor, and has saved thousands of lives.
3) A devout Muslim who has prayed five times a day, and is a doctor and has saved thousands of lives.
4) A Muslim terrorist, also very devout, who had been brainwashed by Al-Qaeda, and drove the plane into the World Trade Centre.
5) An average Christian who went to Church, had read through the Bible but didn't really listen to it, who hadn't killed or saved any lives, he was a banker, but was a caring father, a loving husband, and an obedient son.
6) Number 5, but he's an atheist. |
Only God can really be the final say. According to the Christian Bible, so long as you accept him as your savior and repent of your sins you will be granted everlasting life after death. So assuming the Christians were saved, I don't know how God would look at their other sins, but so long as they repented and were genuinely sorry, I think they'd make it. All others would not unless the Muslim god is real.

Isn't the god in the Qu'ran, like the same god as in the bible which is like, the same god that's in the Torah? Its just different prophets/messiah's and so on, right?

Based on the same god, yes. Are they really the same? Well, read the Qu'ran and the Bible and decide for yourself if they're really the same.
@nightsurge; I don't think that God would punish you for not being Christian if you were a genuinely good person. A doctor who's saved thousands of lives? He probably stands a good chance of getting in. Ultimately though, it is up to God to decide who goes where, and we're not supposed to judge that.
