How should Muslims treat Christians? With violence netflix schweiz herunterladen? 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 vtech kidizoom foto'sen.

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 facebook videos herunterladen smartphone.

The below letter requires no explanation. We hope it provides credence and comfort that Prophet Muhammad (sa) truly celebrated his Christian friends apple watch musiken. (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 google.de download kostenlos.

No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims’ houses herunterladen. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God’s covenant and disobey His Prophet.
