Question

I want to know whether Hindus, Christians and Yahoodis in this time are also Ummatis of our Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) or only Muslims are Ummatis.

Answer

With respect to them being born in this era (after the nubuwwat of Nabi [sallallahu alaihi wa sallam]) they are counted as the ummat. For further details, refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/26646.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
