Abstract
At the introduction it is written that "a person who has been guided comprehends the benefits of the pure religion for believers, in this world and the next. As for its goodness towards non-Muslims, the greatest proof of this is the rights which Islam has preserved for them, and the almost unbelievable degree of religious tolerance that Muslims have shown towards them, even in times when Muslims were achieving victories over non-Muslims in war. Unbiased non-Muslims historians have left testimony to these facts". The book has mentioned two testimony; I'm quoting the one done by Partiarch Ghatho "The Arabs, to whom Lord has given control over the world, treat us as you know; they are not enemies of Christianity. Indeed, they praise our community, and treat our priests and saints with dignity, and offer aid to our churches and monasteries" you may read the one stated by Will Durant in the book.
