"بلاد اسلامیہ میں غیر مسلموں کو مذہبی آزادی اور ان سے حسن سلوک شریعت اور تاریخ کے آئینے میں"

Abstract

Qur’ān and Sunnah encourage Muslims to treat non-Muslims in the best 
possible manner and has protected their political, judicial, social and 
religious rights. Islām emphasizes on the fair treatment towards nonMuslims; it also ordains giving respect to their funerals, visiting their sick and providing them security and social justice in order to soften their 
hearts for Islām. It is also legislated by the Sharī‘ah that if they deal fairly 
with the Muslims, Muslims in return are also bound to deal with them in 
the same manner. They are even permitted to secure governmental and 
official positions while living peacefully in the Muslim lands . Muslims are 
specifically instructed to ensure their security and provide social justice to 
the extent that there are numerous warnings given by the Prophet SAW to 
those who among Muslims, who fail to do so or devise ways to treat nonMuslims unjustly and unfairly. There are numerous parables found in 
Islāmic history of such treatment; therefore, it wouldn’t be wrong to 
conclude that the number of rights that Islām has given to the nonMuslims, no other religion has been able to do that. This paper covers all such comprehensive details and parables.
