Understanding Jizya in Islamic Context

In the Quran, chapter number nine, verse number twenty-nine,

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala orders the Muslims to kill the Christians,

Jews, and if they do not surrender, then they have to pay

Jizya. Jizya is basically

protection money.

Jizya is a tax.

In the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

peace be upon him,

and after him when Islam was spreading and the Muslim

government

was spreading and the Islamic State was spreading.

So wherever there were Jews and Christians and people who were not

believers,

for them,

there was a rule that they have to pay this tax.

Since in Islam, according to the Islamic rules, they

will be free to worship whoever they want.

They will be free. They will have free movement

to worship their God. They will be able to build

churches. They will be able to, uh, build their religious

institutes.

However, they will have to pay some

tax.
