The Glorious Quran says in Verse 185 of Chapter 3:
"Every soul shall have A taste of death, And only on the Day Of Judgement shall you Be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved Far from the Fire And admitted to the Garden Will have attained The object of life. For the life of this world Is but goods and chattels Of deception."
Final justice will be meted out on the Day of Judgement. After a person dies, he will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement along with the rest of mankind. It is possible that a person receives part of his punishment in this world. The final reward and punishment will only be in the hereafter. God Almighty may not punish a robber or a rapist in this world but he will surely be held accountable on the Day of Judgement and will be punished in the hereafter i.e. life after death.

As an example if you read the holy Quran, the Holy Quran says in Surah Al Imran chapter number 3 verse number 49 "Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) was sent as a messenger to the children of Israeli". That means according to the Holy Quran Prophet Jesus peace be upon him was only sent for the children of Israel.
And if you read the Bible a similar message is given. In the New testament in the Gospel of Matthew chapter number 10 verses 5-6 Jesus peace be upon him tells his 12 disciples "That go ye not into the way of the Gentiles". Who are the Gentiles? The non Jews the Hindus the Muslims. "Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles in to the house of the Samaritans you shall enter not but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israeli. And Jesus peace be upon him further says in the New testament in the gospel of Matthew chapter number 15 verse number 24 "That I have not been sent but as a messenger to the lost sheep of the Children of Israeli"
That means both the Quran and the bible say that Jesus peace be upon him was only sent for the children of Israeli.
But Prophet Muhammed peace be upon him according to the holy Quran in Surah Al Ahsab chapter 33 verse number 40 says that "Muhammad peace be upon him is not the father of any of you men but is a universal messenger and is the seal of the Prophets and God is all knowing and full of Knowledge"
The Glorious Quran says that Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is the last and final messenger of God Almighty.
And the Quran says in Surah Al Umbeya chapter number 21 verse number verse 107 "That we have not sent Muhammad (pbuh) but as a mercy to the whole of humanity."

taken literally that particular verse says that he was sent to the israelites, not that his message applied to them exclusively.

this is a gross misrepresentation of scripture. firstly, you can't include muslims with the gentiles from Mat 10:5-6 because they didn't exist until after the christian church was well and truly established, and gentile is not a christian concept (however, muslims could be considered gentiles from a judaic perspective).
secondly, and more importantly, both those verses as quoted ignore the context of the entire passage - and a good portion of the rest of the New Testament.
when read in context, both those passages from matthew are about the
order in which things were to be done. jesus was sent to the israelites because they were the first of god's people, but he was also training the apostles to spread the "word" which meant starting them on the people and culture they understood best before moving on to the rest of the world.
Jesus later gave the Apostles the command to preach the gospel in all the world and to everyone without restriction. (Matt 28:19,20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8). this shows that Jesus' message is a universal one for all people.
additionally, there was a move to incorporate gentiles into the early ecclesia after the resurrection of Jesus (Acts 10). it came from a direct revelation from God (Acts 10:10-16) and was confirmed by a dispensation of the Holy Spirit sent by God (Acts 10:44-48). This shows the sanction of God for including the gentiles in the ecclesia, and if this is encouraged by God then the gospel must be a message for more than just the israelites.

@Gelfen, you do not need to agree with me as i am only stating facts from Holy scriptures
The Glorious Quran - Verse 72 from Chapter 5 states:
They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah, Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.

Great Words from Almighty Allah, Chapter 3 Verses 59 and 60 state:
The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was.
The Truth comes from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt.

How do you guys feel about the altering of the bible buy Constantine (re-writing the bible buy putting in Pagan and Christian religion together?)
What are your thoughts on Jesus being a mere mortal and being married to Mary Magdalene (aka the Holy Grail) who also apparently gave birth to Jesus’ child (the holy bloodline?).

This life of ours is very short and whatever good deed we do will only benefit us in the hearafter and whatever we give in charity will be counted in our favour. Life will end sooner than we think and as this is a
fact we must do our best in this short journey. As the Glorious Quran states in chapter 63 Verses 9-11:
O ye who believe! Let not your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. If any act thus, the loss is their own.
and spend something in charity out of the substance which We have bestowed on you, before Death should come to any of you and he should say, "O my Lord! why didst Thou not give me respite for a little while? I should then have given largely in charity, and I should have been one of the doers of good".
But to no soul will Allah grant respite when the time appointed for it has come; and Allah is well acquainted with all that ye do.

Glorious Quran - Verse 34 from Chapter 31 states:
Nor does any one know what it is that he will earn on the morrow, Nor does any one know in what land he is to die. Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted with all things.
For example, there are many millionaires today on this planet who live life to the max, enjoy every moment and think they have it all. BUT does the rich person know
what day he will die, does he know
where he will die? The Answer is
NO - The answer is with Almighty Allah only. Every soul will have a taste of death and there is no escaping this matter no matter who and where we are.

Chapter 18 Verse 109 from the Glorious Quran states:
Say: "If the ocean were ink wherewith to write out the words of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like it, for its aid."

my point was you weren't stating all of them, and by doing so critically changed the meaning of the passages you quoted. i'm not going to dispute your quranic interpretations since i haven't read it myself yet, but those new testament passages are often misinterpreted and/or misrepresented
