The Truth About Jizya
by rafiuddin farooqui on Mar 29, 2007 05:14 PM   Permalink

1. Non-believers are called Dhimmis in Muslim States. The Non-Muslims have to pay levy, tax or Jizya.

2. The Non-Muslims Young Man who are eligible to pay not serving in the Army. The Old, Woman, children exempted.

3. This is not paid as bribe for practicing their faith, but rather as compensation for not serving in the Army.

4. The Muslim Government responsible for their protection by all means from crusading armies, tribal or communal warfare.

5. The special tax required of non-Muslim dhimmis under Islamic law, was actually less than zakat 2.5 percent.

6. All eligible Muslims have to pay zakat 2.5 percent.

7. All Muslims and Dhimmis have to pay Zakat on Farming 10 percent if the production is more than the Nisab(fixed amount decided by the Economist) or the person is eligible.

8. The Zakat is must for Muslims also some western writer miss-informed. Our First Caliph Abu Baker Siddiq R.A. Said if any body is not giving Zakat take by anyway if its war. So-called journalists scream that the Jizya is a tool of inequality, they fail to see that there is a tax levied on Muslims as well, the Zakat, which non-Muslims are not required to pay.


FOR YOU KIND INFORMATION.
We Muslims are ready to pay Jizya 2.5% and we will not pay house tax, land tax, income tax, sales tax and other taxes.

We are ready to join Police, Army and Air force give us chance and the Jobs.

The Government should give us Guarantee to protect from the Communal and other warfare%u2019s and genocides.

Today we are paying hell of taxes directly and indirectly and the fools still talk about the Jizya and other things. You people must understand this is all Propaganda against Islam. This already gave Islam a boost from West to East and North to South people reading about Islam and coming into the fold of Islam.
