A historical study of Muslim treatment of Christians in Islamic Jerusalem at the time of 'Umar Ibn al-Khattab and Salah al-Din, with special reference to Islamic value of justice
The thesis is concerned with the study of Muslim treatment of Christians in Islam in general and in Islamic Jerusalem in particular. It conducts detailed research based on primary sources illustrating the juristic principles and rules. This formed the conceptual framework o f Muslim treatment o f non-Muslims which later became most useful in finding plausible explanations for âUmar and Salah al-Dinâs treatment of Christians in Islamic Jerusalem. In order to provide more support for an accurate picture of âUmar and Salah al-Dinâs treatment of Christians, the study further analyses some historical episodes of their treatment of Christians outside Islamic Jerusalem. The study discusses and analyses the steps taken by the Muslims towards the first and second conquest of Islamic Jerusalem, the situation of Christians in Islamic Jerusalem prior to, and the attitude of the Christian towards, both conquest, and the treatment of the Christians in Islamic Jerusalem after both conquests. As âUmarâs assurance of safety defines the status of Christians communities under the new Muslims rule and established the foundations of the way Muslims should follow when treating Christians in Islamic Jerusalem, the study
