وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمِ دِينًۭا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ

And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
اردو — مودودی
اس فرماں برداری (اسلام) کے سوا جو شخص کوئی اور طریقہ اختیار کرنا چاہے اس کا وہ طریقہ ہرگز قبول نہ کیا جائے گا اور آخرت میں وہ ناکام و نامراد رہے گا

Barangsiapa mencari agama selain agama Islam, maka sekali-kali tidaklah akan diterima (agama itu)daripadanya, dan dia di akhirat termasuk orang-orang yang rugi.
Ibn Kathir
The Only Valid Religion To Allah is Islam
Allah rebukes those who prefer a religion other than the religion that He sent His Books and Messengers with, which is the worship of Allah Alone without partners, to Whom,
وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ
(submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth,) Willingly, or not. Allah said in other Ayat,
وَللَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا
(And unto Allah (Alone) falls in prostration whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly.) 13:15, and,
أَوَ لَمْيَرَوْاْ إِلَىخَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ ظِلَـلُهُ عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَالْشَّمَآئِلِ سُجَّدًا لِلَّهِ وَهُمْوَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَالْمَلَـئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ يَخَـفُونَ رَبَّهُمْ مِّن فَوْقِهِمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ
(Have they not observed things that Allah has created: (how) their shadows incline to the right and to the left, making prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly And to Allah prostrate all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth, of the moving creatures and the angels, and they are not proud. They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded) 16: 48-50.
Therefore, the faithful believer submits to Allah in heart and body, while the disbeliever unwillingly submits to Him in body only, since he is under Allah's power, irresistible control and mighty kingship that cannot be repelled or resisted. Waki` reported that Mujahid said that the Ayah,
وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا
(While to Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly), is similar to the Ayah,
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ
(And verily, if you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth" Surely, they will say: "Allah") 39:38.
He also reported that Ibn `Abbas said about,
وَلَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ طَوْعًا وَكَرْهًا
(while to Him submitted all creatures in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly.)
"When He took the covenant from them."
وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ
(And to Him shall they all be returned) on the Day of Return, when He will reward or punish each person according to his or her deeds.
Allah then said,
قُلْ ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا
(Say: "We believe in Allah and in what has been sent down to us) the Qur'an,
وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَى إِبْرَهِيمَ وَإِسْمَـعِيلَ وَإِسْحَـقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ
(and what was sent down to Ibrahim, Ismai`0l, Ishaq, Ya`qub) the scriptures and revelation,
وَالأَسْبَاطَ
(and the Asbat,) the Asbat are the twelve tribes who originated from the twelve children of Israel (Ya`qub).
وَمَا أُوتِىَ مُوسَى وَعِيسَى
(and what was given to Musa, `Isa) the Tawrah and the Injil,
وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ
(and the Prophets from their Lord.) and this encompasses all of Allah's Prophets.
لاَ نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُمْ
(We make no distinction between one another among them) we believe in all of them,
وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ
(And to Him (Allah) we have submitted (in Islam))
Therefore, faithful Muslims believe in every Prophet whom Allah has sent and in every Book He revealed, and never disbelieve in any of them. Rather, they believe in what was revealed by Allah, and in every Prophet sent by Allah. Allah said next,
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الإِسْلَـمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ
(And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him,) whoever seeks other than what Allah has legislated, it will not be accepted from him,
وَهُوَ فِى الاٌّخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَـسِرِينَ
(and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.)
As the Prophet said in an authentic Hadith,
«مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا، فَهُوَ رَد»
(Whoever commits an action that does not conform to our matter (religion) then it is rejected).
المُيَسَّر
ومن يطلب دينًا غير دين الإسلام الذي هو الاستسلام لله بالتوحيد والانقياد له بالطاعة، والعبودية، ولرسوله النبي الخاتم محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم بالإيمان به وبمتابعته ومحبته ظاهرًا وباطنًا، فلن يُقبل منه ذلك، وهو في الآخرة من الخاسرين الذين بخسوا أنفسهم حظوظها.
