Relations with non-Muslims - Teachings of the Prophet of Mercy(Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)

 The universality of Islam’s message

Islam doesn’t discriminate between anyone on the basis of religion, nationality or such.  Without any discrimination of any kind, basic human rights are common to all.

Islam grants non-Muslims all those rights which are granted to non-Muslims.  There is no scope for discrimination or favoritism of any kind in this.  In an Islamic country, non-Muslims have the right to practice their religion, economic and social rights.  To protect them and to maintain an atmosphere of peace is the responsibility of Muslims.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

انا احق من اوفى بذمته

Translation: The safeguarding of the rights of the non-Muslims is my responsibility.[1]
