Belief in Prophets

misquoting 2.62:-
"Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish
(scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah
and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their
Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."

Is belief in God enough if men have not found their way of light to
live in good conscience towards God by faith alone rather than in law?

Comment:-
You have misquoted the verse in the Quran.
The verse does not say "those who follow Jewish Scriptures", but Jews
and it mentions both belief and works of righteousness.

"Faith alone rather than law" is not taught anywhere, not by Jesus nor even
by Paul.

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful
works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,
ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:21-23

"Now we know that God heares not sinners; but if any man be a worshipper of
God and does His will, him He hears." John 9:31

"But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?" James
2:20

"Be not deceived: God is not mocked:for whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting." Galatians 6:7-8
