Complexion of the hoors

Q: In tafsir jalalayn by Allama Suyuti on this verse describing the hoor al ayn "And with them will be chaste females, restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands), with wide and beautiful eyes; (Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved." [Sura As-Saffaat]

كأنهن ** في اللون بيض ** للنعام مكنون ** مستور بريشه لا يصل إليه غبار، ولونه وهو البياض في صفرة، أحسن ألوان النساء

What is meant by white mixed with yellow? Does it mean a tan/light brown skin complexion?

Who are infidels

Q: I have a white friend or client. He told me another white friend of his, told him that in our Quran it is stated that other religions are classed as infidels. I replied infidels are people who don't believe in God. People of the faith Christians and Jews believe in God and they are not classed as infidels. Am I correct?

Meaning of Surah Baqarah, Aayah 285

Q: Please make clear that what Surah Baqrah, Aayah 285 says. The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, as did the believers. They all have believed in God, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers: "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. Your forgiveness, our Lord. To you is the destiny.

This means that we can not make any distinction between prophets like prophet Muhammad saw is more better than others. And in Bukhari Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "One should not say that I am better than Jonah (i.e. Yunus) bin Matta." So, he mentioned his father Matta. The Prophet mentioned the night of his Ascension and said, "The prophet Moses was brown, a tall person as if from the people of the tribe of Shanu'a. Jesus was a curly-haired man of moderate height." He also mentioned Malik, the gate-keeper of the (Hell) Fire, and Ad-Dajjal.
