THE TREATY OF JERUSALEM

This is the protection which the servant of Allah, Amir ul-Mumineen, grants to the people of Palestine. Thus, protection is for their lives, property, church, cross, for the healthy and sick and for all their co-religionists. In this way that their churches shall not be turned into dwelling houses, nor will they be pulled down, nor any injury will be done to them or to their enclosures, nor to their cross, and nor will anything be deducted from their wealth. No restrictions shall be made regarding their religious ceremonies. No Jew will be allowed to stay along with them [This was a request made by the Christians themselves61 to maintain status quo, as there were no Jews allowed in Jerusalem prior to the Muslim arrival].

It shall be incumbent upon the people of Palestine, that they shall pay Jizyah (the capitation tax) like other cities. They must expel the Greeks and those of them who shall leave the city shall be protected and conducted safely to their destinations, but those of them who would prefer to remain in Palestine shall also receive protection, are to pay the Jizyah. And of the people of Palestine who would like to leave with the Greeks, then their churches and crosses shall also be protected, and they may safely go to their destination. Whatever is in this document is guaranteed in the name of Allah and the prophet by khalifah and the faithful on condition that the people pay jizyah regularly. This document is witnessed by Khalid ibn al Walid, ‘Amr bin al ‘Aas, Abdur Rahman bin Awf, and Mu’aawiyah bin abi Sufyaan.

Dated A.H. 15

Eco-friendliness: a real religious aspect?

Our poor Earth begs to see those twinkling stars,
For it could formerly even admire the beauty of planet Mars.

These factories smoking a thousand cigars a day,
The smoke clouding up with a hue of blackish grey.

Tonnes of garbage dumped mercilessly at the great seas,
Even the lakes and oceans are not set free.

So many chemicals polluting the noble waters,
Choking fishes and many plants, even our health greatly falters.

Overpopulation forces the construction of more abodes,
But why use fertile land when you have the other mode?

Unhealthy, hybrid foods replace the better nutrition,
To feed the numerous masses, to produce a weaker generation.

For the best in both lives, plant a seed today,
That’s also what the Lord and His Messenger (saw) say.

You may never realize—it’s a little forest of your own,
With household garbage and compost, the large plants you have grown.

Let’s unionize our efforts to success via the Way,
How Muhammad (saw) taught us, our world needs it today!
