Qur'anic verses - The Christians of Najran:

 

Here is an appeal to three mystic symbols reflecting the nature of the awful event, the denunciation of wicked persecutors of the votaries of God. The persecutors, under the reign of the King of Yemen, by religion a Jew, who burnt righteous people, the Christians of Najran, for their faith.
     
  The persecutors in this horrific scene were witnessing the burning of the Christians of Najran who believed in the One True God.

This massacre took place during the second half of the 6th Christian century. In a time preceding the birth of Prophet Muhammad in 570 AD.
     
  The persecutors richly deserve to be punished in the Fire of Hell. That punishment will be far more real and lasting than the undeserved cruelty which they inflicted on people for their faith in God. This is a typical saga of tyranny and aggression against the innocent.

Since the creation of man, the struggle between good and evil became inherent in our mankind.
     
  This may refer to further punishment in this life besides the Penalty of Hell, a Fire burning in their hearts for their sins and ill deeds, for their jeolousy and hatred.
     
  The salvation here is the felicity, happiness, achievement, the attainment or fulfilment of desires. What a beautiful definition of salvation that is the winning of God's good pleasure in the eternal life. A great reward for those righteous Christians who died in cruelty, for no guilt, but for their true faith.
