Islamic Toleration & Justice - Non Muslims under Muslim rule
The present book grew from Dr Iqbal's addresses to explain how the Muslim rulers in the past treated the Jews, Christians and Hindus in a spirit of justice and realism. Too significant a part is the prolegomena of the book which stresses the need to enforce Islamic teachings. Without this, neither the Muslims can form themselves into a judicious and healthy society, nor can they deliver the world from its present trmoil. The author emphatically re-explains common view that in the message of Islam lies the effective remedy to the ills of Mankind.
