The Belief in Easy Salvation:
By these people are also meant the scholars of the Jews and Christians, that when they were invited to abandon their evil deeds and to believe, they would boastfully say:
﴿نَحْنُ اَبْنٰؤُا اللّٰهِ وَاَحِبَّاؤُهٗ﴾ [ 5: 18]
That is, "We are Allah's sons and His beloved ones." Also, since they are the descendants of the prophets, they claim to possess pure souls. And the Christians invented the doctrine of the atonement of the Messiah, according to which all the sins of the Christians were borne by Sayyiduna Isa ؑ, who was crucified, and thus their entire community became pure and deserving of Paradise. Allah Almighty said that self-praise and boasting achieve nothing. Only the one is pure who keeps himself free from sins and whom Allah declares pure. Like the Jews and Christians, this belief, in some form, is also found among Muslims. Some people call themselves Sayyid and the family of the Messenger, and claim that their lineage is pure, meaning that they are pure people generation after generation, and this was the same belief of the Jews that they were the descendants of the prophets. Then, some people have even constructed "heavenly gates" in this world, claiming that whoever passes under this gate on the day of the Urs will go straight to Paradise after death.
