Christians Must Heed
Jesus

Article 16 of the Constitution says, "The Jews who follow us
will enjoy the right to our help and support, with no injustice be-
ing inflicted on them and with no succor for their enemies."

After our Prophet (pbuh), the Companion remained loyal to this
rule that he had placed in the Constitution, and also applied it to the
Berbers, Buddhists, Brahmans and holders of similar beliefs.

In the Protection Treaty He Gave to the
People of Najran Our Prophet (pbuh) Said
They Were under the Protection of Muslims

The freedoms our Prophet gave to the People of the Book from
Edruh, Makna, Khaibar, Najran and Aqaba show that the lives and
property of the People of the Book were placed under the protec-
tion of Muslims and that they recognized their freedom of belief
and worship. These articles on the agreement our Prophet made
with the people of Najran are particularly striking:

The lives, belongings, religion, assets, families, churches and everything
else belonging to the people of Najran and their associates will be placed
under the protection of God and the Prophet of God.
