Jizya Tax explained

Assalamu alaikoum and greetings, this is a short article that explains the Jizya tax that non-muslims in muslim lands were subject to. It is often misunderstood that this was actually more than fair! I hope this will be beneficial for some Insha ALLAH, Peace/Wassalam

so places like finland and switzerland etc. that have compulsory military service ought to levy a jizya style tax on muslims as they and their children are exempt from military service. they are afforded the protection and benefits but are not obligated to serve in the military

@danicapayton - negative, all residents in europe, USA etc pay taxes regardless of faith. today in muslim countries like KSA, UAE etc, you non muslims don't pay jack squat. i thought europe had done away with military service? it has been the destruction of many a european teenager falling into drug abuse and worse while "serving".

Traditionally the collection of the jizya occurred at a ceremony that was designed to emphasize the subordinate status of the non-Muslim, where the subject is often struck in a humiliating fashion. Some Islamic clerics encouraged tax collectors to spit into the mouths of Hindu dhimmis during the process.

@muslimwhacker - took one look at your channel and the sordid company you keep which was hardly surprising taking your username into consideration. you are talking out of your rear end with no substance whatsoever so you are blocked as life is too short to bother with hatemongers like yourself.

@elishebabb - Mother, do you have a point other than playing games about which verse is which in which version of the Bible? Do you support the imposition of a tax by one religion against members of another religion?

[elishebabb]

@ZakatWatch You are not using the original scriptures - the Hebrew Bible . It IS 1 Kings 5:1 in the Tanakh. You must be using a Christian Bible. In that case the same verse is actually 1 kings 4 : 21. You really should analyze further especially when speaking to a person who is old enough to be your mother...instead of causing others to do your studying for you.

[ZakatWatch]

@elishebabb - No it isn't. Apparently you either don't understand numerals or don't know how to read the Bible.

[elishebabb]

@ZakatWatch  It is not me who is lying - the verse you wrote is verse 15 not verse 1

[ZakatWatch]

@elishebabb - Actually, 1 Kings 5:1 has nothing to do with taxes against infidels. It reads, "Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father; for Hiram always loved David." Guess you thought you could make up lies and that Muslims & liberals on YouTube would all believe you.
