                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 sub-
                jected to any killing or injustice, Muslims must help him." 1
                     The Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and
                grant him peace) allowed the Jews to become a party to the

                Constitution of Madinah signed with the Aws and Khazraj
                clans, which permitted them to continue living as a separate
                religious community. The basis for this compassion and un-
                derstanding of the Jews' faith and traditions was laid down in
                the following article: "The Jews of Banu Awf [non-Muslim mi-
                norities] are a community along with the believers. To the Jews their
                religion, and to the Muslim their religion." 2

                     As a requirement of the morality ordained by Allah, the
                Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him
                peace) not only showed compassion and understanding to-
                ward the People of the Book, but also taught his Companions
                that those Jews and Christians living under the rule of Islam
                must be protected.
