Prophetic guidance in dealing with Ahl-ul-Dhimmah

Abstract EN

This research aims at highlighting the true image of Islam through the Prophet Mohammed’s (pbuh) dealings with Ahl-ul-Dhimmah (Jews and Christians who are not fighters) in times of peace.

This research was developed for the purpose of giving the true image of Islam, especially nowadays, when there are many fierce accusations towards the Prophet (pbuh), under the acclaimed right of ‘freedom of speech’.

Perhaps the best way to defend the Prophet is to show his true personality from various aspects in a peaceful and civilized way.

We rebel these accusations as Allah (awj) commands us in the Qur’an: Repel evil with that which is best: We are well-acquainted with the things they say.

(Surah Al-Mu’minun, V.96).

We have demonstrated through this research that the Prophet’s dealings with (Ahl-ul-Dhimmah) should be an example for everyone to follow in social and international relations.

We clarify that Islam is the first religion to give the citizens of its state full rights; even if they are non-muslims.
