Peaceful Coexistence with the Dhimmis under the Islamic Arab State

Abstract

Dhimmis is an Islamic jurisprudence term intended for both Christians and Jews, people of the Book and other religions who live under Islamic rule or in countries with a Muslim majority The first era in which Muslims used the word “dhimma” is the covenant of the Messenger of God (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him) to the Christians of the people of Najran. Their survival is to guarantee rights not to waste them, to respect the religion that violates Islam, and not to insult it, and for the people of religions to endorse their religions and their systems, not to compel them to be asceticized or reversed. Yet it is a contract, not a contract. True Islam came at the time of the Messenger of God linked to a number of sublime messages, which are expressed The content of Islam, and it defends it in all situations of suspicions, and the distortion of the tolerant message of Islam claimed by those who do not know Islam and do not do justice to it. Islam has ordered tolerance, forgiveness, and good coexistence with all people regardless of their sect, religions, and beliefs, by respecting their religious and political freedom And intellectual, it is worth noting that the message of Islam did not spread with the sword as it is distorted, but rather, tolerance, justice and knowledge are the ones who contributed to spreading this supreme message, as evidenced by the aforementioned stories of Muslims dealing with the people of the Dhimm and coexist with them and share their lives.
