Jesiya a tax on non-muslims
by mohamed on Apr 08, 2008 10:06 PM

jaziya is a tax on non-muslims for their protection.There is a tax called Zakat. its more than Jesiya.Zakat is compulsory for muslims to give.And jesiya is a kind of tax for protecttion of non muslims..heard any riots during mughal rule.We are ready to pay for our protection.Can the govt protect us during riots..no...but we dont care to die just for simple reason that we are muslims.Its a social reality that there will be discord when some ppl rules.Atleast there is something like pretection of non-muslims during islamic rule..
