A question posed to islamic hell/heaven theory ?

Muffled

Jesus in me
The only answer to this is Allah knows best.
However, Allah mentions in The Qur'an that only one sin is unforgivable: associating partners with him. Keep in mind that if you are of the Christian faith, you associate partners with Allah meaning that this sin is barred from forgiveness.

This is more of a perception than a reality. However God does not require this of us, perhaps because it isn't a problem for us. The Qu'ran was written for Arabs who may have had the temptation to adhere to their old gods and Allah at the same time.

Everything is forgiven in Jesus eliminating the requirement of righteousness on a personal basis.

Unlike Bible/Injeel , which was reveled to Jesus(pbuh) by God to a tribe of Israel for specific time ,this is why Jesus(pbuh) said

"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me".[John chapter 16 verse 12-14:]

Quran is a book of guidance for entire mankind till eternity

“We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not.” [Al Qur’an 34:28]

Edit: There is no such thing as 'Everything is forgiven in Jesus eliminating the requirement of righteousness on a personal basis' in Bible

.. But what if the seeker did his best and wasn't guided to Islam due to reasons like when Islam reach him in a distorted way?..
Well, I think that seeker shouldn't stop searching even if Islam reached him in a distorted way ( I believe it is another test for him), his journey is not ended yet... So the sincere seeker should turn to the creator (in most cases I know, seekers follow their fitrah, which makes them sure that there must be a creator) supplicate in humiliation to Him, and ask for guidance...

... The truth is that it is extremely unlikely that a person who is searching for religion won't already have a distorted view of Islam because of preconceived notions that bombards people in the West maligning Islam. Being born a nonmuslim in the West pretty guarantees that the vast exposure to Islam will be portrayed in a negative light.
Yes, I agree...Truth in all times was exposed to different sorts of distortion by its enemies, even during the prophet lifetime, Quraish was spreading lies about Islam and opposed it in several ways, but that didn't make honest people stop listening to the truth to judge it themselves....So I don't believe that the western version of Islam is totally distorted, certainly there are places where non-Muslims can find the truth about Islam. And if there wasn't, I think it is our responsibility for not presenting Islam correctly to them, and we will be accountable for that before Allah.

I don't know, I can't judge. If he should or shouldn't have stopped...let's leave this to Allah! God knows every one's circumstances, attempts and abilities.
