peace) successors stayed loyal to that rule he agreed to,
extending it even to Berbers, Buddhists, Hindu Brahmans and
those of other beliefs.
One reason why the time of the Prophet (may Allah bless

him and grant him peace) was blessed with peace and

Genuine Islam, George Bernard Shaw described these superior
traits:

estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only

him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world,
he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that
would bring it the much needed peace and happiness... 50
