COURSE OVERVIEW

Is there any command in the Qur’an that allows Muslims to fight others on the sole grounds that they are not Muslim whether they are Jewish, Christians, pagans or idolaters?

Is there an ayah of the Qur’an which labels People of the Book as ‘Mushrikeen’.

Indeed, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) receives credit for keeping the peace for 13 years.

What did the Geneva Conventions and the various humanitarian international laws of war add in essence to what the Prophet of Islam taught 14 centuries ago?!
