About the Book
This book explores the concept of Jizyah as prescribed in the Quran, particularly focusing on a verse revealed around 631 A.D., shortly after the capture of Mecca by the Prophet Muhammad. The verse is understood to offer non-Muslims—referred to as "People of the Book" (Jews and Christians)—the option of paying Jizyah (a form of tax) in exchange for protection, rather than converting to Islam or facing death.
The author analyzes the traditional interpretations of this verse, including the translation by Mohomed Marmaduke Pickthall, which frames Jizyah as a compulsory tribute for Jews and Christians who do not accept Islam. The book delves into the historical and theological implications of this prescription, examining the Quran's division of humanity into two communities (taifatayn) and how this division has influenced Islamic governance and relations with non-Muslims.
