The wise treatment

The wise treatment

If the believer wants to face the anger of a non-Muslim, he must increase in kindness, so the non-Muslim grows more angry. Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) : { Here you are loving them but they are not loving you, while you believe in the Scripture - all of it.1 And when they meet you, they say, "We believe." But when they are alone, they bite their fingertips at you in rage. Say, "Die in your rage. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts."  } Quran ( 3 : 119 )

Be cautious

If the wise Muslim is to mix with the non Muslim, then he may not let the non-Muslim be aware of his secrets.  Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) : { O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves [i.e., believers], for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason.  } Quran ( 3 : 118 )

Allah commanded us not to take allies from the Jews and the Christians even if they are powerful and victorious. Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) : { O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people. So you see those in whose hearts is disease [i.e., hypocrisy] hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful.  } Quran ( 5 : 52 )

So pardon and overlook

So pardon and overlook

Allah commanded us to pardon the misdeeds and mistakes of the People of the Book, and forgive their ignorance until Allah delivers his command.  Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) : { Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.  } Quran ( 2 : 109 )

It is lawful to eat the food of the people of the scripture and marry their women.

This legislation creates friendly relationships with those who act according to a heavenly legislation even if it is distorted. Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) : {This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation,1 desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers } Quran ( 5 : 5  ) 

Dealing justly with the people

Dealing justly with the people

Allah told us that there is a difference in the treatment of those who want to fight us and those who do not, so there is nothing wrong with righteousness and good treatment with those who did not fight us. Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) : { Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies1 of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers.  } Quran ( 60 : 8 – 9  )

And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him } Quran ( 29 : 46 )

God urged women to cover up and so as to protect them from physical or psychological harm Allah said ( interpretation of the meaning ) : { O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful. } Quran ( 33 : 59  )
