Wait, so your saying that he didn't know about Islam? He did know about Islam, who doesn't? He was a Christian, and every Christian knows about Islam because the two religions are compared very often. And since he knows about the religion of Islam, he will be held accountable for not learning more about it and not accepting it.

Its only if you were completely oblivious of the fact that Islam existed that you might have a chance in the akhira.

Bro, Newton died a non-Muslim, I dont understand why you are defending him.
You have to read hearts to know what faith a human died upon.

The trouble is youve made your mind on him being condemened, so if you start from that position its very problematic. You should start from the reverse position, in my opinion.

Its only if you were completely oblivious of the fact that Islam existed that you might have a chance in the akhira. I dont think that is the concensus of the Ulema. Also i dont think you can say "who doesnt know about Islam" to negate the verse, "no one is accountable till they recieve the message"

17th Century England, was not a place where access to Islam was readily available. How many Islam books were there in existence in ENGLISH in the 17th Century. ? probably NONE !

Newton would have HAD to known Arabic to have access. Again nearly impossible given the time and place he was living.

Allah knows best.
