Prophetic Guidance in the social issues with the people of the books (Jews and Christians)
Abstract
Islam is the religion which is spreading rapidly all over the world. It
has become a universal religion and its boundaries are expending to the
people of all types of ethnics and cultural background.
Allah almighty has revealed the Holy Quran to his Prophet
Muhammad () for the guidance of whole mankind. The Holy Quran exists as
it was revealed to the Holy Prophet () and this book has no undergone any
change since it was revealed.
Quran hints about Christians and Jesus as “People of the book”,
means the People who have received the revelation from Allah Almighty
through his Prophets.
A complete understanding only can be achieved by understanding the
whole issues as presented all over the verses and chapters and not by looking
at only part of the Quran.
To understand the issues regarding the Jews, Christians one should
study all the verses related to the concern issues discussed in the Quran
collectively.
As Islam began to grow and spread throughout Arabia. Prophet
Muhammad () met with many Christian communities and Jewish tribes to
spread Islam, but never force them to convert to Islam.
When Prophet Muhammad () arrived to Madinah, he established
relations of Muslims with Jewish. Neither the Prophet not the companions
killed a Jew without a sin. The Prophet recognized the right of Jews to own
anything they wanted and didn’t try to confiscate their property and ensured
the protection of Jews and both Jews and Muslims co-operated with each
other against foreign invaders.
In the Current Era, Muslims, Christians and Jews can serve the
world for the grater cause of peace and prosperity by focusing on their
commonalities
