Muslims and non Muslim in Islam !!!!

The relationship between Muslims and non Muslims has been explained in details in the Holy Koran and in the Sunnah (what prophet Muhammad said, did and approved), Human beings are seen as one big family, all humans are created by Allah the creator of all things and Allah created our first parents Adam and Eve so that we are brothers and sisters in humanity as Allah says (Koran 49.13) and Allah also gave dignity to all the children of Adam and honored them all (Koran 17.70) prophet Muhammad emphasized that concept when he said "all people are equals in the sight of Allah, there is no superiority for Arab over non Arab or for black over white or for white over black the most noble among you in the sight of Allah is he/she who is most righteous and pious", Allah has given all humans the free will and sent prophets to call people to worship Him and Him alone willingly, we as Muslims are commanded by Allah to call all people to worship their Guardian Lord who created them (Koran 2.21) and this Dawa (invitation/Call) must be according to Allah's command as He says "invite all to the way of your Lord with wisdom and best preaching and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious (Koran 16.125).

and this invitation must be clear from all kind of coercion since it is invitation to submit willingly and Allah says "let be no compulsion in religion for truth stands out clear from error" (Koran 2.256) and also it must be without insult or mockery (Koran 6.108 ), however the reactions from people will be different, some will accept the call and they will be Muslims and our brothers and sisters in faith as Allah says "the believers are but a single brotherhood" (Koran 49.10) and the others who will reject faith, to those Allah commands us to tell them "to you be your religion (way of life) and to me mine" Koran 109.6) as simple as that,

but the reactions of those who reject faith will differ too, since Islam stands for equality for all people so it is a threat to dictators, racists who think their race or color or wealth make them superiors, some will fight against Islam, as they may see Islam as a threat and a challenge to their beliefs since Islam rejects blind faith and imitation to one's parents and society without using the most perfected thing Allah ever created the mind (as prophet Muhammad said) since blind faith is always against reason and Islam calls for reasoning and reflection in the signs of Allah in the universe which will lead to reject all non sense and accept the truth which comes from Allah alone, and those who have control over people thru their religious positions will see Islam as a threat since in Islam there is no priesthood or monarchy for every one is required to seek knowledge and teach as prophet Muhammad said "the best thing the man can do is to learn and then teach" so any Muslim can lead the prayer without asking people money for doing that, and there is no man between people and Allah, when we sin we repent and ask forgiveness for our sins and Allah is ever forgiving the most merciful who forgives sins without a mediator, and the prophet says "ask Allah to forgive you for Allah loves to forgive" thus some of the rejecters will try to use force against Muslims in this Allah says "fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress limits for Allah loves not transgressors" (Koran 2.190) and also "repel evil with what is better and will he between whom and you was hatred become as it were your friend and intimate" (Koran 41.34), thus Muslims must not transgress and if others transgress against them so Muslims have the right to defend themselves and also they are encouraged to repel the evil with good that may turn the enemies to be close friends, Allah also says "it maybe that Allah will establish love (friendship) between you and those whom you now hold as enemies, for Allah has powers over all things and Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful" (Koran 60.7) so that the enemies of today are hoped and looked at by Muslims as potential friends and every non Muslim today is a potential Muslim tomorrow and Allah guides to Islam those who seek
His guidance,
and there are some rejecters who are peaceful and do not fight against Islam, regarding those Allah says "Allah forbids you not with regard to those who fight you not for your faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them, for Allah loves those who are just" (Koran 60.8 ). in addition Islam gives full protection for those who live under its shariah(laws) for their lives, property and practicing their religion and protecting their places of worship, and they are required to obey and respect Islamic laws as civilized citizens do, if any Muslim or non Muslim violates the law will be punished accordingly for all people are equals before the law, there is no second class citizens in Islam and those non Muslims who live in Islamic State (ruled by Islamic laws) are called the people of covenant means their protection is a covenant of Allah and His messenger Muhammad to them, and the prophet said "whoever (Muslim) will harm unjustly a non Muslim I will be his opponent in the day of judgment". when Muslims followed the Koran and the Sunna of prophet Muhammad they set the best example for mankind in how people can live together in peace and harmony with respect and dignity in spite of having different religions. Allah is the most great, all glory
and praise due to Allah and peace be on all the messengers.
