My dear Dr. Zakir Naik, In simple words, “Yes! To go into heaven, being a Muslim is the minimum pre-requisite that one has to have.” Yes! There are many other things to do too. However, anyone who is not a Muslim, no matter how good a person he is, he cannot enter heaven. It doesn’t mean that the people who came before Muhammad (Peace be upon him) will not enter heaven. As long as they believed in the oneness of God and the prophet of their time, they fulfilled the minimum requirement to enter heaven.
