Summary
The Al-Rayyan gate is not reserved only for the followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW. The hadith about it is general and there is no specific evidence that excludes other communities, so its general meaning stands. Earlier believing communities who fasted often may also enter it, although the followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW are the first community to enter paradise.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, pintu Al-Rayyan tidak dikhususkan hanya buat umat Nabi Muhammad SAW.
