With regard to non-Muslims, there is nothing wrong with treating them kindly on condition that they are not among those who are fighting us because of our religion or seeking to drive us from our homes, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity.”

[al-Mumtahanah 60:8].

The Muslim will be rewarded for treating these people kindly. Allah, may He be exalted, stated that one of the attributes of the righteous, who are the people of Paradise, is (interpretation of the meaning):

“And they give food, in spite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin (poor), the orphan, and the captive”

[al-Insaan 76:8]

–       and the captive cannot be anything other than a non-Muslim.

Qataadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“And they give food, in spite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin (poor), the orphan, and the captive”

[al-Insaan 76:8]

–       Allah has enjoined kind treatment of captives, and the captives at that time would have been mushrikeen (polytheists).

See: Tafseer at-Tabari, 10/8364

An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo‘ (6/237):

If you give charity to an evildoer or to a non-Muslim such as a Jew, a Christian or a Magian, that is permissible and there will be reward for that in general terms. The author of al-Bayaan said: as-Saymari said: The same applies with regard to a non-Muslim who is in a state of war with the Muslims. The evidence for that is the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And they give food, in spite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin (poor), the orphan, and the captive” [al-Insaan 76:8], and it is well known that the captive would be a non-Muslim who was in a state of war with the Muslims. End quote.

And Allah knows best.

Please carefully read the below article to clear your doubts about the subject matter.
Please Read With open Hearts and Minds

O YOU who have attained to faith! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your allies: they are but allies of one another and whoever of you allies himself with them becomes, verily, one of them; behold, God does not guide people who are unjust. (Quran 5:51)

This verse is often quoted to show that Islam is intolerant.

Quran is a complete book of guidance and while studying various issues it should be kept in mind that a particular issue may be discussed over several chapters or several verses in the same chapter. A complete understanding can only be achieved by understanding the whole issue as presented over all the verses and chapters and not by looking at only part of the Quran. God specifically warns us against doing just that, upholding part of the Quran while disregarding the rest.

.. Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in, and do you reject the rest? but what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace in this life? – and on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For God is not unmindful of what ye do. (Quran 2:85)

To understand the issue of befriending the Jews, Christians or people of any other faith, we have to study all the concerned verses from the Quran collectively.

Let us look at some other verses about this issue. The following two verses regulate relations with any people, regardless of faith:

As for such [of the unbelievers] as do not fight against you on account of [your] faith, and neither drive you forth from your homelands, God does not forbid you to show them kindness and to behave towards them with full equity: for, verily, God loves those who act equitably. (Quran 60:

God only forbids you to turn in friendship towards such as fight against you because of [your] faith, and drive you forth from your homelands, or aid [others] in driving you forth: and as for those [from among you] who turn towards them in friendship; it is they, they who are truly wrongdoers! (Quran 60:9)

From the above verses, we learn that we are only discouraged from befriending those who fight Muslims because of their religion. Now let’s go back to the verse immediately after 5:51, to see if it sheds some further light on the issue.

And yet you can not see how those in whose hearts there is disease vie with one another for their good will (the hostile Jews and Christians), saying [to themselves], "We do fear lest a change of fortune bring us disaster." But God may well bring about good fortune [for the believers] or any [other] event of His own devising, whereupon those [waverers] will be smitten with remorse for the thoughts which they had secretly harboured within themselves- (Quran 5:52)

During the time of the Prophet when the Jews and Christians were in open conflict with the Muslims, there were some Muslims who were more concerned about maintaining there alliances with the Jews and Christians at the expense of the Muslim community. The above verse is referring to such situations where Muslims with doubts in their hearts will ally themselves with the enemy.

Chapter 5 Verse 57 of the Quran makes it clear again, who are not to be taken as friends; O you who believe! take not for friends and protectors those who take your religion for a mockery or sport,- whether among those who received the Scripture before you, or among those who reject Faith; but remain conscious of God, if you are (truly) believers. (Quran 5:57)

To me you're a Muslim. A Muslim is a person who submit his will to God.

Wrong topic, I think it should be:
It is incumbent on all Muslims to treat all humans rightly, Kindly and mercifully, as taught by the holy prophet MUHAMMAD PBUH.

thats for those that are hostile or at war with us.otherwise we have no issue becoming freinds with you if you respect your boundries else we put you where you rightly belong

nice op. i live with both mislim and Christian as neighbors here so i can diffrentiate them. one thing i like in Muslims is they have conscience in obeying and be loyal to their jobs. that is, if you wan to trust someone in doing correct business you better go to a Muslim because you hardly find one cheating. it like living in sin and praying five times a day on sin which is bad to them.


But you guys should try more in condemning terrorisms yea i can see some scolars condemning it but not good enough. the international media (CNN, BBC ) are really blaiming all terrorism on islam with proves and the world is seeing it as bad religon which i don't see it. the Al jazerra is not trying.


lastly. the Muslim should abstain from calling non Muslims INFIDELS. They are not infidels. they are humans for God sake . and lastly teach the Muslims especially the illiterate ones the true meaning of jihad. some are seeing it in another version of killing, maybe that what brought up these terrorism.

Shalom

Your Post Really make senses. But regarding the word infidel I search google and I found its also used in Christianity to refer to someone who don't accept Christianity.

Islam refers to Jews and Christians as people of the books. (Ahlul Kitab in Arabic)

And all non Muslims as Unbelievers of Islam. (Kafirun)

But may be people take the Arabic word as discriminating.


Shalom = Peace


If all of us will have your thinking, then we are going somewhere as a nation and as a people.
