John 14:6 has been cancelled, nullified, invalidated, voided, overridden, overthrown, overturned, revoked, scrapped, abolished, vacated, withdrawn, disannulled, countermanded by Surah 4:13
These are the
limits set by Allah. Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will admit him
to gardens beneath which rivers flow, where he will live forever. That is a
great success. (Surah 4:13)
God has promised those who
believe and work righteousness: they will have forgiveness and a great reward.
(Surah 5:9)
30. Surely, those who say: “Our Lord
is God,” and then go straight, the angels will descend upon them: “Do not fear,
and do not grieve, but rejoice in the news of the Garden which you were
promised. (Surah 41:30)
Those who believe, and do good
deeds, and pray regularly, and give charity—they will have their reward with
their Lord; they will have no fear, nor shall they grieve. (Surah 2:177)
It is narrated on the authority of Jabir that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said:
Messenger of Allah,
what are the two things quite unavoidable? He replied: He who dies without
associating anyone with Allah would (necessarily) enter Paradise and he who
dies associating anything with Allah would enter the (Fire of) Hell.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،
وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ
أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ
فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْمُوجِبَتَانِ فَقَالَ " مَنْ مَاتَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ
بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ مَاتَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا
دَخَلَ النَّارَ "

Narrated `Abdullah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said one statement and I said another.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said "Whoever dies while still invoking anything other
than Allah as a rival to Allah, will enter Hell (Fire)." And I said,
"Whoever dies without invoking anything as a rival to Allah, will enter
Paradise."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنِ
الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله
عليه وسلم كَلِمَةً وَقُلْتُ أُخْرَى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ مَاتَ وَهْوَ يَدْعُو
مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ نِدًّا دَخَلَ النَّارَ ". وَقُلْتُ أَنَا مَنْ مَاتَ وَهْوَ لاَ يَدْعُو
لِلَّهِ نِدًّا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ.

Ibn
Maajah (4341) narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There is no one among you who
does not have two abodes: an abode in Paradise and an abode in Hell. If he dies
and enters Hell, the people of Paradise inherit his abode. This is what Allaah
says: ‘These are indeed the inheritors’ [al-Mu’minoon 23:10].
Classed
as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah.
An-Nawawi
(may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“Ransom”
means salvation and sacrifice. What this hadeeth means is that which is
mentioned in the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah: everyone has an abode in Paradise and
an abode in Hell. If the believer enters Paradise, the disbeliever in Hell will
take his place, because he deserves that due to his disbelief. What is meant by
the words “your ransom from the Fire” is that you were exposed to the risk of
entering the Fire, and this is your ransom, because Allah, may He be exalted,
decreed a number for it to fill it. Because the disbelievers will enter it
because of their disbelief and sin, they will become like ransoms for the
Muslims.
End quote from Sharh Muslim by an-Nawawi (17/85)
This hadeeth is to be found in
Saheeh Muslim (2767), narrated from Abu Moosa (may Allaah be pleased with him)
from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who said: “On the
Day of Resurrection, some of the Muslims will come with sins like mountains,
but Allaah will forgive them and will put them (the sins) onto the Jews and
Christians.” So this hadeeth is saheeh.
With regard to its meaning,
al-Nawawi said in his commentary: “The meaning of this hadeeth is the same as
the hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurayrah: “For each person there is a place in
Paradise and a place in Hell.” When the believer enters Paradise, his place in
Hell is taken over by the kaafir because he deserves that because of his kufr.
The meaning of the phrase “your ransom from the Fire” is that you could have
entered Hell, but this is your ransom because Allaah has decreed a certain number
to fill it; when the kuffaar enter Hell because of their kufr and sins, this is
like a ransom for the Muslims. With regard to the report, “On the Day of
Resurrection, some of the Muslims will come with sins” – Allaah will forgive
the Muslims these sins and will absolve them of them, and He will put the like
of those sins onto the Jews and Christians because of their kufr and sins. So
they will enter Hell because of their own actions, not because of the sins of
the Muslims. This report has to be interpreted in this manner, because Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
The Words of Allah Swt overrides the sayings of any man or jinn. Thus, John 14:6 holds no authority. Jesus of the bible is not the only way to God. Christians must Submit. Also the idea of substitution or replacement theory is incorrect.
