No. Only people who received true and complete information about Islam and rejected it then died in that state will go to Hell. People who never heard about Islam or received only a distorted picture of it will be tested by God. Those who had faith in God and did right will go to Paradise and those who rejected faith in God and did wrong will go to Hell. The Quran says, "Surely those who have faith (in Islam) and the Jews and the Christians and the Sabaeans - whoever believes in God and the Last Day - their reward is with their Lord and they will neither fear nor grieve" (Quran 2:62 and 5:69). To read a ruling by a noted Muslim scholar explaining this position, go to What is the Fate of Those Not Reached by Islam?

Islam is the completion of both Judaism and Christianity. Muslims believe that God revealed the Torah to Moses and the Gospel to Jesus. However, over time these teachings have become lost or corrupted. God's purpose in revealing the Quran was to provide guidance in its complete and final form. Islam teaches that Judaism and Christianity both contain truth and are both based on revelation from God; however followers of these religions have mixed in man-made teachings and doctrines.
