should deal with them according to Islamic shareeah?
Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.
1- Islam is the religion of mercy and justice.
2- Muslims are commanded to call non-Muslims to Islam with wisdom
and beautiful preaching and by debating in a manner that is better.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
And argue not with the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians),
unless it be in (a way) that is better (with good words and in good
manner, inviting them to Islamic Monotheism with His Verses), except
with such of them as do wrong
[al-Ankaboot 29:46]
3- Allaah does not accept any religion other than Islam. Allaah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be
accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers
[Aal Imraan 3:85]
4- The Muslims should give the kaafirs the opportunity to hear the
words of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
And if anyone of the Mushrikoon (polytheists, idolaters, pagans,
disbelievers in the Oneness of Allaah) seeks your protection then grant
him protection so that he may hear the Word of Allaah (the Quraan) and
then escort him to where he can be secure
[al-Tawbah 9:6]
5- The Muslims should differentiate between different kinds of
kaafirs in their dealings with them. They should make peace with those
who make peace, and wage war against those who wage war, and wage jihad
against those who stand in the way of spreading the message of Islam
and causing it to prevail of earth.
6- With regard to matters of love and hate in the heart, the
Muslims attitude towards non-Muslims is based on the latters attitude
towards Allaah. If they worship Allaah and do not associate anything in
worship with Him, then they love them. If they associate others in
worship with Him, or disbelieve in Him, or worship others alongside
Him, or are hostile towards His religion and hate the truth, then it is
obligatory to hate them in our hearts.
7- Hating them in our hearts does not mean that we should oppress
or mistreat them under any circumstances, because Allaah said to His
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), describing what
his attitude should be towards the People of the Book:
and I am commanded to do justice among you. Allaah is our Lord and
your Lord. For us our deeds and for you your deeds
[al-Shoora 42:15 interpretation of the meaning]
even though he is a Muslim and they are following Judaism or
Christianity.
8- The Muslims believe that it is not permissible, under any
circumstances whatsoever, for a Muslim to mistreat a non-Muslim who is
not hostile towards Islam; so the Muslim should not commit aggression
against him, or frighten him, or terrorize him, or steal his wealth, or
embezzle him, or deprive him of his rights, or deny him his trust, or
deny him his wages, or withhold from him the price of his goods when
buying from him or withhold the profits of a partnership if he is in a
business partnership with him.
9- The Muslims believe that it is obligatory upon the Muslims to
honour treaties or agreements made with a non-Muslim party. If a Muslim
has agreed to their conditions when seeking permission to enter their
country (i.e., a visa) and has promised to adhere to that, then it is
not permissible for him to commit mischief in their land, to betray
anyone, to steal, to kill or to do any destructive action, and so on.
10-The Muslims believe that in the case of non-Muslims who wage war
against them and drive them out of their homes, or help others to do
so, it is permissible for Muslims to shed the blood of these
non-Muslims and confiscate their wealth.
11-The Muslims believe that it is permissible for a Muslim to treat
kindly those non-Muslims who are not hostile, whether by offering
financial help, feeding the hungry, giving them loans if needed or
interceding with regard to permissible matters, or speaking kindly to
them or returning their greetings, and so on. Allaah says
(interpretation of the meaning):
Allaah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who
fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your
homes. Verily, Allaah loves those who deal with equity
[al-Mumtahanah 60:8]
12-There is no reason why Muslims should not cooperate with non-Muslims
with regard to establishing truth and combating falsehood, to support
the oppressed and ward off danger from mankind, such as cooperating to
fight pollution or to protect the environment, or to combat epidemic
diseases and so on.
13-The Muslims believe that there are differences between Muslims and
non-Muslims in specific rulings such as diyah (blood money),
inheritance, marriage, guardianship in marriage, entering Makkah etc.,
as is explained in the books of Islamic fiqh (jurisprudence). This is
based on the commands of Allaah and His Messenger Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him). We cannot regard as equal one who
believes in Allaah alone with no partner or associate and one who
disbelieves in Allaah or one who disbelieves in Allaah and joins others
in worship with Him, or who turns away from the true religion.
14-Muslims are commanded to call people to Allaah in all the Muslim
countries and other lands. They must convey the true religion of Allaah
to the world and build mosques in all parts of the world, and send
daaiyahs (callers) to non-Muslim countries and invite their leaders to
enter the religion of Allaah.
15-The Muslims believe that other people who are following other
religions are not following any true religion, so the Muslims do not
allow others to send missionaries to build churches in Muslim
countries. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
Is then he who is a believer like him who is a Faasiq (disbeliever and
disobedient to Allaah)? Not equal are they
[al-Sajdah 32:18]
Whoever thinks that Islam is equal to other religions is making a
serious mistake. But the Muslim scholars have opened the door to debate
with non-Muslims and allow the opportunity to discuss with and listen
to non-Muslims and explain the truth to them.
Finally, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
Say (O Muhammad): O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians):
Come to a word that is just between us and you, that we worship none
but Allaah (Alone), and that we associate no partners with Him, and
that none of us shall take others as lords besides Allaah. Then, if
they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims
[Aal Imraan 3:64]
And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed,
it would have been better for them
[Aal Imraan 3:110].
