Sljedbenici Knjige (Ehlul-kitab) je kur'ansko ime za Jevreje i kršćane, koji su primili ranije objavljene knjige. Islam im daje posebno poštovanje i posebno mjesto među pripadnicima drugih vjera.
Potpuniji odgovor
Musliman smije jesti hranu sljedbenika Knjige i smije se ženiti njihovim čednim ženama. Kur'an kaže da oni koji vjeruju, bilo da su Jevreji, kršćani ili Sabijci, i čine dobro, imaju svoju nagradu kod svog Gospodara. Kaže da muslimani s njima treba da raspravljaju samo na najljepši način i naređuje pravdu i dobrotu prema onima koji se ne bore protiv muslimana.
Kur'an se s njima i ne slaže oko nekih vjerovanja, poput Isaova božanstva, i jasno kaže gdje se razlikuje. Muslimani vjeruju da se vjernik može snažno ne slagati, a ipak biti ljubazan. Poslanik ﷺ je živio pored Jevreja i kršćana u Medini i sklopio s njima ugovor, a upozorio je da ko ubije osobu koja je pod zaštitom ugovora, neće osjetiti miris dženneta.
This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.
Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.
And do not argue with the People of the Scripture except in a way that is best, except for those who commit injustice among them, and say, "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you. And our God and your God is one; and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
