Abstract

Every nation and religion have some terms that need to be interpreted. There have been many objections to Muslims on the terms of Jiziyyah and Khirāj as to why it is levied. This article describes a Muslim state receives services from dhimmis in return for full protection of their lives and property. Tribute means setting a very reasonable rate of tax keeping in view the production of the conquered land. The dhimmis will not own their lands, but they will not be evicted from their lands, and the nature of the occupation may be hereditary, meaning that the occupation may be passed on to their heirs. They will also be able to settle other matters related to this land. The government will receive its ownership rights from these lands in the form of a reasonable rate of tribute. The lands of the conquerors will not be distributed among the conquerors but will remain in the possession of the government and it will collect tribute from them.
