The debates among Muslims and non-muslims (primarily Jews and Christians and others, as well) were hot in the history as they are now. The focal point in these hot debates was whether being member of any of these heavenly religions would provide them salvation/emancipation from the fire.  Muslim scholars took the position of non-muslims as their research topic. My paper deals with the topic from Mâtürîdî perspective under such titles as whom to name as ahl al-kitâb, whether they are equal and their position when compared with Islam and their final fate.
