In Part Nine of the book "Al-Mutayyam," we discussed the principles established by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to lay the foundations of the new community in the illuminated city of Medina. This included the construction of the mosque, the brotherhood between the emigrants and the Helpers (Ansar), and the signing of a covenant between him and all factions residing in Medina to ensure peaceful coexistence for all.

Now, before you is Part Ten, where we will delve into one of the most critical issues that many people misunderstand, and around which many doubts are raised by skeptics and enemies of this religion. This issue is the concept of jihad and its philosophy in Islam. We will begin our discussion of this topic in this part by talking about the manifestations of peace in the religion of Islam, and we will respond to a common misconception that Islam spread by the sword.

Then, we will conclude this part by answering two important questions related to this issue: First: What does it mean when the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "I have been commanded to fight the people"? Second: Did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) personally kill anyone with his own hands? We will then discuss the concept of jihad in Islamic law and other religions, the etiquette of jihad in Islam, the guidance of the Prophet (peace be upon him) before and during battle, and how he treated those who were captured during combat.

Finally, we will discuss how Islam dealt with the issue of slavery and how it abolished this system with a decisive methodology. We will then address the issue of jizyah, which Islam imposed on non-Muslims, a matter that has been misunderstood by some who failed to grasp the objective of Islam in instituting it. Finally, we will conclude this part by discussing the rights of dhimmis (non-Muslim subjects) in Islamic law.
