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.
