veryone looking at the
                                       history of Islam since very
                                      early times and at the position
                                    of Christians and Jews under
                               Islamic administration with an unbiased

                        eye will encounter one very obvious fact: The
                        People of the Book have always lived in peace and
                       security under Islamic rule. Indeed, Christians and
                      Jews who were persecuted under the rule of different
                     faiths and sects from time to time sought refuge in Islamic
                    lands and found the security they sought in Muslim coun-
                  tries. The main reason why the People of the Book were able to
                live in such peace and comfort is that Muslims form their atti-
                tudes and behavior toward the People of the Book according to

                the moral values of the Qur'an.



                  The Prophet Muhammad's (may Allah bless

                       him and grant him peace) Loving and


                 Affectionate Morality Must Serve As a Role

                                Model for All Muslims


                     In the time of the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless
