The Prophet Muhammad treated non-Muslims with dignity and respect. He upheld their rights as human beings and visited non-Muslims who were sick. He also stood up for Jewish and Christian funeral processions as a sign of respect. The Prophet established principles of tolerance and justice for non-Muslims by allowing them freedom of religion and worship. He ordered Muslims to deal fairly with non-Muslims and preserve their security and rights.

The farewell address of Prophet Muhammad was indeed addressed to all humankind at all times and for all generations. It encompasses many aspects of life (general and specific).
He laid down the foundation of morality, chastity, modesty, justice, equality, brotherhood, and accountability. He abolished economic exploitation, human enslavement, paganism, transgression, international law and all systems that contradict with the system of Allah (God).
Furthermore, Muslim international law also dealt long ago, before the Dutch lawyer Hugo Grotius (d. 1645ad) who is considered to be the father of international law.

Islam Peaceful Religion
A LECTURE BY HADRAT MIRZA MASROOR AHMAD, KHALIFATUL MASIH V, SUPREME
HEAD OF THE WORLDWIDE AHMADIYYA MUSLIM COMMUNITY DELIVERED AT THE
UNIVERSITE D’ABOMEY- C A L AVI COTONOU, BENIN, DURING HIS RECENT M O S T
SUCCESSFUL VISIT IN GHANA, BURKINO FASO, BENIN AND NIGERIA
Dear students and staff members at this university,
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah.
I have been asked to shed some light on Islam as a peaceful religion. In view of the
shortage of time, I can only address this subject briefly.
Whenever one wishes to speak about Islam as a religion of peace, the question
naturally springs to mind that whereas there are so many religions in the world such
as Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc., when it comes to finding out
whether Islam is a religion of peace, why should Islam be the odd one out?
One reason for this is that a few years after the beginning of Islam, anti-Islamic
powers began a propaganda that Islam is a religion of extremism and violence and
wants to compel others into belief by means of the sword. This, of course, is
incorrect. In the beginning, the Muslims of Makkah suffered persecution but they
remained silent. Finally, they migrated to Madinah but there too the disbelievers
hounded the Muslims and forced upon them a battle to which I will revert later. The
proof against those opponents who allege that Islam was spread by the sword is that
although the disbelievers of Makkah raised all sorts of objections, yet history stands
witness to the fact that the people of Makkah themselves never complained that the
Muslims had used the sword against the disbelievers to compel them to change their
faith.
Secondly, what has given Islam a bad name is an ugly and awful image of extremism
presented, whether knowingly or unwittingly, by some Muslim groups and.................
This slide program explains the difficult circumstances for Muslims in America and in the West. It gives us the reasons for such situation. It outlines the guidance of Quran and Sunnah in this situation. It outlines the steps to be taken to change the situation

The blind-following-of-madhhabs
Shaykh Muhammad Sultan al-Khajnadee
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 65 | Size: 1 MB
Anyone who comes across the discussions of the followers of the madhhabs will not doubt that the misfortune of blind-following of madhhabs is one of the causes of decline of the Muslims and their backwardness. It has transformed their minds so that they do not think except with the minds of other people. The Imaams and their first students – rahimahumullaah – did not blindly stick to their own opinions like these followers who have forgotten a large portion of the advice given by the Imaams. Thus Shaytaan has caused enmity and hatred between them so that they relit a fire which Allaah had extinguished and in reality, they turned away from the sayings of the Mujtahid Imaams and clung onto the hypothetical answers given by late-comers who did not leave anything of the madhhabs except their names. Many scholars throughout the ages have understood this fact and so they have written about it and done well. But the work of ‘Allaamah al-Ma’soomee – rahimahullaah – Hadiyyat us-Sultaan ilaa Muslimee Bilaad il-Yaabaan is, despite its small size, perhaps one of the most beneficial books written on the subject. This is this due to its excellent style and strength of proofs, to the point that it is a fatal blow to the misfortune of blind-following of madhhabs. This is a concise version of this book, edited by Shaykh Saleem al- Hilaalee. This book was translated into English by Daawood ibn Ronald Burbank. We ask Allaah, the Blessed and Most High, to make this work beneficial to the Muslims. Those who do not give precedence to anything before Allaah and His Messenger, so that they may unsheathe the sword of knowledge, which is: ‘Allaah says… His Messenger says…’ And ride upon the back of truth, which is acquiring knowledge along with its proof. Thus expelling from Islaam the alterations of those going beyond bounds, the false claims of the deceptive, the misinterpretations of the ignorant and the bigotry of the blind- followers: those who pick and choose from the Qur’aan and divide up their Deen into sects and become separate groups.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

The prophets peace_be_upon_him_treatment_of_non-muslims
1. The Prophet’s (Peace be upon him) Treatment of Non-
Muslims
Anyone who learns about the prophetic message finds
that it maintained human dignity and raised his status, as
human beings, whether Muslims or not, are the offspring of
Adam. Allah the Almighty honored all humanity by saying,
“We have honored the sons of Adam, provided them with
transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things
good and pure; and conferred on them special favors, above
a great part of Our creation“. (Al-Israa, 17: 70)
Hence, all people have rights as human beings before
Allah the Almighty. Yet, they, before Allah, are distinguished
by fearing their Lord, having faith, and adopting good morals.
Moreover, Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was consistent in
showing this clearly in his behavior and dealing with non-
Muslims.
In an authentic tradition, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon
him)is reported to have said: “Whenever you see a funeral
procession, stand up till the procession goes ahead of you”.
One day a funeral procession passed in front of him and he
stood up. When he was told that it was the coffin of a Jew,
2. he said, "Is it not a living being (soul)?" Also, Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) used to visit non-Muslims who
were sick. Hence, the Prophet (Peace be upon him)visited Abu Talib
in his sickness, and he also visited a sick Jewish boy.
He (Peace be upon him) observed people's rights in terms of
good neighborliness, as he said: ““The best of companions
with Allah is the one who is best to his companion, and the
best of neighbors with Him is the one who is best to his
neighbor”. The tradition included every neighbor, even if he
was a non-Muslim.
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) did not come to
deprive those who did not follow him of freedom. Instead, he
treated them with a rare form of tolerance. The following are
some of the most important principles of Prophet
Muhammad’s (Peace be upon him) treatment of non-Muslims:
There is no compulsion in religion:
Although Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his
companions believed that it is right to adopt Islam - as it is
the seal of the previous messages - they never tried to force
any one to adopt Islam. The Noble Qur’an highlighted this
meaning clearly by saying: “There is no compulsion in
religion as truth stands out clear from error”. (Al-Baqarah, 2:
3. 256)
Therefore, no one is forced to adopt Islam. This is so,
even if the one who uses force was a father who wants
goodness for his children, and even if the one who was
compelled was a child who has no doubt about his father’s
pity for him. Even the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him)
himself did not force people to adopt this religion, and Allah
the Almighty says, “If it had been your Lord's will, they would
all have believed- all who are on earth! Will you then compel
mankind, against their will, to believe?” (Yunus, 10: 99)
Islam not only gave non-Muslims freedom to retain their
religion, but it also allowed them to practice their ceremonies
and preserved their places of worship. The Prophet (Peace be
upon him) prevented his companions from disturbing Christian
clergymen in their hermitages, and he never assaulted a
non-Muslim place of worship. His companions, and the
caliphs after him, understood this meaning very well; so,
they recommended their military leaders not to seize or
demolish their places of worship. Also, Islam gave them the
freedom to follow their laws related to marriage, divorce, and
the like.
The values of justice with the other:
4. Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) ordered us to deal
fairly with all people whether Muslims or non-Muslims. This
is mentioned in the Noble Qur’an, “Allah does command you
to render back your Trusts to those to whom they are due;
and when you judge between man and man, that you judge
with justice”. (An-Nisaa’, 4:58)
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) received the
revelation and applied it in the greatest manner, as he was
ordered to be just with all people without looking to their
status, race, religion or ancestry. They were all equal, even if
the person who had a certain right was unfair to the Muslims;
he would still be given his right. The Noble Qur’an ordered
the Messenger (Peace be upon him) to rule fairly if Ahl al-Kitab (i.e.
the Jews and the Christians) choose him as an arbitrator, “If
you judge, judge in equity between them” (Al-Maida, 5: 42).
In more than thirty traditions, Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon
him) emphasized the right of al-Mu’ahad (the one who has a
covenant with the Muslims), among which is the following:
“Whoever killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims,
shall not smell the smell of Paradise though its smell is
perceived from a distance of forty years”. He also says,
“Beware, if anyone wrongs a contracting man, or diminishes
his right, or forces him to work beyond his capacity, or takes
5. from him anything without his consent, I shall plead for him
(the victimized) on the Day of Judgment.” He also says, “If
anyone kills a man whom he grants protection prematurely,
Allah will forbid him to enter Paradise.” Muhammad (Peace be
upon him) prohibited torturing anyone, even if he did not adopt
Islam.
Therefore, he (Peace be upon him) forbade torturing any
human being whether Muslim or non-Muslim. He says, “Allah
the Almighty tortures those who torture people in this life”.
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) also preserved and guaranteed
the security of non-Muslims’ lives, wealth and honor in the
Islamic community. So, no one is permitted to hurt them
whether Muslim or not, as long as they residents of Islamic
territories.
Good treatment for Non-Muslims:
The teachings of Muhammad (Peace be upon him)left an
important principle, i.e. a Muslim treats all people well, as he
(Peace be upon him) said: “I have only been sent to perfect good
characteristics”. And in another narration we find “to reform
manners”. Noble manners are equal with every one; the
Muslim and the non-Muslim. Coexistence, understanding,
and co-operation among nations and people are greatly
6. needed by humanity. So, Muhammad (Peace be upon him) ordered
mercy in his message, and included every aspect of it as
well as all forms of good treatment. The Noble Quran says:
“Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not
for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from
dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loves those who
are just.” (Al-Mumtahanah: 60: 8)
The scholars of Islam explained kindness in the verse
by saying: ‘It is mercy on the weak of them, giving money to
the poor, feeding the hungry, dressing the poor, and talking
kindly with them. This should be done in a merciful and
gentle way and not in a fearful and humiliating way, tolerate
bad neighbors - with the ability of removing it kindly but not
fearfully or greedily. In addition, we should ask Allah to guide
them and grant them happiness. Also, we should offer them
advice in all aspects of their life and religious matters and
guard them if anyone wants to harm them”.
This good treatment is confirmed in the case of family
relations, and it becomes obligatory in the case of parental
relationship. Hence, Asmaa’ the daughter of Abu Bakr
mentions the following and says, “My mother came to visit
me at the time of the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) and
she was a disbeliever. So I consulted the Messenger of
7. Allah, (Peace be upon him) and asked him, ‘My mother wants to visit
me and expects me to treat her kindly; should I uphold the
ties of kinship with my mother?’ He said, ‘Yes, uphold the ties
of kinship with your mother”.
Also, when the delegation of Najran, who were
Christians, came to Muhammad (Peace be upon him)in Medina, they
entered his mosque in the afternoon, and it was the time for
their prayer. So, they started to pray in his mosque and the
Muslims wanted to stop them but the Muhammad (Peace be upon
him) said: ‘Let them pray’. So, they faced the east and
prayed. Also, the mother of the believers ‘Aisha (May Allah
be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger of Allah (Peace be
upon him) passed away and his shield was pledged to a Jewish
man in exchange for thirty measures of barley, and this was
for the expenses of his (i.e. the Prophet (Peace be upon him)
children”.
Thus, Muhammad (Peace be upon him) ordered the Muslims to
take care of Ahl adh-Dhimma (the Jews and the Christians)
who live among them. So, if any non-Muslim needs money,
they should provide him, as the state is responsible for the
poor; including Muslims and Ahl adh-Dhimma. The state is
responsible to provide suitable living conditions for them and
for all those they are responsible for, because they are
8. citizens in an Islamic state. Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said,
‘You are all guardians, and each of you is responsible for
those in his trust'. When the second caliph ‘Umar was in Al-
Sham and he passed by a group of Christian people who
were suffering from leprosy, he ordered that they be given
alms and food.
The freedom to work and earn:
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) made a covenant that the
non-Muslims can work and earn in Muslim countries; by
working for others or for themselves, in addition to having
any career they choose and economic activities. Their state
is equal to that of the Muslims, and they have the right to buy
and sell and deal with society. They can also have financial
dealings, but should avoid usury. They have the right to deal
with anything except for usury and buying and selling wines,
pigs, and anything that is harmful to society and which Islam
has prohibited. Islam banned these things because of the
damage that results either on them or upon their community.
They also enjoy other freedoms in terms of possessing
goods and manufacturing crafts and other items.
