On the Christians, Jews and Polytheists:
O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allah will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
What is it that the Messenger has to announce?
And if only they upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord, they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them are a moderate community, but many of them - evil is that which they do.
- Surah Al-Ma'idah, 66-67
The Qur'an makes exemplary mention of the People of the Book, IE, Christians and Jews, indeed they could have been among those guided, but alas their deviances has led them astray into disbelief and evil, and Allah guides who he wills.
They have exchanged the signs of Allah for a small price and averted [people] from His way. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.
- Surah At-Tawbah, 9
And what of the polytheists? those out of this sphere of religion that the People of the Book are? And Allah makes mention of them:
And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion.
Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.
-Surah Al-Bayyinah, 5-6
