Pearl of Wisdom

'A good favour done to a fellow believer is not considered complete until accompanied by three things: underestimation of the act, concealing it, and hastening its completion. He who underestimates his good turn to a fellow believer has esteemed his brother highly indeed, whereas he who esteems his good turn to be great has deemed his brother to be insignificant. He who conceals the good turn that he has done has honoured his action, and he who hastens to fulfil his promise takes pleasure in the gift too.'

Imam Musa ibn Jafar al-Kadhim [as]
Tuhaf al-'Uqul, p. 403

Question : #110 Category: Interfaith Dialogue
Subject: People of the book in today's society
Question: When talking about 'people of the book', are the modern day Christians and Jews still equal as Ahle Kitab? Ie. Has their faith changed too much*
Answer: Salaam alaykum

I do not understand what is meant by being equal as ahl al-kitab. The Christians are considered to be closer to Islam than the Jews.

But, both are still considered to be ahl al-kitab.
