A Letter To The Christians From Phophet Muhammad(pbuh) by Nobody: 5:53pm On Aug 11, 2014
How should Muslims treat Christians? With
violence? Anger? Hatred? The answer is none of
the above. Below is the English rendering of a
letter written by the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
to all Christians.
In a time when tensions between Islam
and Christianity seem to be at an all time high, we
remind our Christian friends that a true Muslim
cannot hurt a Christian in any way, neither by his
hand, nor by his tongue.
The below letter requires no explanation. We
hope it provides credence and comfort that
Prophet Muhammad (sa) truly celebrated his
Christian friends. (The original letter is now in the
Topkapi Museum in Instanbul)
“This is a message from Muhammad ibn
Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt
Christianity, near and far, we are with them.
Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my
followers defend them, because Christians are
my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against
anything that displeases them.
No compulsion is to be on them. Neither are their
judges to be removed from their jobs nor their
monks from their monasteries.
No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to
damage it, or to carry anything from it to the
Muslims’ houses. Should anyone take any of
these, he would spoil God’s covenant and
disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies
and have my secure charter against all that they
hate.
No one is to force them to travel or to oblige
them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them.
If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is
not to take place without her approval. She is not
to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.
Their churches are to be respected. They are
neither to be prevented from repairing them nor
the sacredness of their covenants. No one of the
nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the
Last Day (end of the world).”
