The Way the Prophet (saas)
Communicated the Message of Allah
his co-religionists, for instance, the Prophet (saas) first had the following
words written: "The religion, churches, lives, chastity and goods of all
Christians living in the East are under the protection of Allah and all believers.
None of those living by Christianity will be forced to turn to Islam. If any
Christian is subjected to any killing or injustice, Muslims must help him" and
65
then read this verse from the Qur'an: "Only argue with the People of the
Book in the kindest way …" (Surat al-'Ankabut: 46)
The Prophet (saas) was commanded to advise his people how they
should treat the People of the Book in these terms in the Qur'an:

call on the People of the Book to worship Allah alone:
"You are going to people of a (Divine) Book. First of all invite
them to worship Allah (alone)…" 66
