the first people to speak to our Prophet (pbuh) and
Hazrat Khadija in the first days of the revelation was
Waraqa bin Naufal, a Christian with handwritten copies of
the Gospel. (Sahih Bukhari)

• Churches that were destroyed in the time of the caliphs
were restored by Muslims, and permission was given for
new synagogues and churches to be built. For example, the
Monastery of St. Sergios that had been burned by Patriarch
Mar Amme was rebuilt in the time of Hazrat Uthman.

• Muslims used to perform the Friday prayer in the Church of
St. John in Damascus after the conquest of Syria. Christians
performed their own religious observances there on Sun-
days. Members of both faiths used the same place of
worship in peace.

• When the Companions were traveling,
they would stay in monasteries on their
routes, and there are articles on the sub-
ject in treaties with the People of the Book.

Based on the Qur'an, Muslims
believe that all the Divine
Books have been revealed by
God. For Muslims, every com-
mandment, practice and word
confirmed by the Qur'an is a
means of guidance.
