Islam orders Muslims to deal kindly and justly with all non-Muslims as long as they do not oppose or oppress Muslims or place obstacles in the way of spreading Islam. Religious differences are matters for God’s decision-making; we are not allowed to judge each other. We are responsible for neither punishing nor rewarding anyone because of his faith. Islam does not compel people of other faiths to convert. It has given them complete freedom to retain their own faith and not to be forced to embrace Islam. This freedom is proved in both the Qur’an and the prophetic teachings known as Sunnah. God addresses the Prophet Muhammad in the Qur’an : “And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together. So, will you (O Muhammad) then compel mankind, until they become believers?” (Yunus: 99)
