	Jizyah - WikiIslam
		Jizyah is the extra tax imposed on non-Muslims (Dhimmis) who live under Muslim rule according to the Qur'an and hadith:
		Jizyah is paid as a sign of submission and gives Dhimmis some legal protection in return.
		The amount of the Jizyah tax and the way it was collected varied from time to time and from place to place, but when imposed, the forced payment of Jizyah greatly stimulated the conversion of non-Muslims into Islam.

		Jizyah, according to the Qur'an was a part of the punishment of the non-acceptance of God's truth, after it had become manifest through the messenger of God in the Arabian Peninsula (Al-Taubah 9: 29) and subsequently through the companions of the messenger for the rest of the world (Al-Baqarah 2: 143).
		Jizyah, on the other hand, was a financial penalty imposed on the non-polytheistic creeds for their rejection of the truth even after its ultimate manifestation by the Prophet (pbuh) and subsequently by his companions.
		Jizyah was not at the discretion of the Muslim rulers.

		The statement that the jizyah was imposed as well on "the people of the Book" -- here doubtless a reference to Christians and Jews -- is particularly significant, since it suggests that there was no animus directed particularly against the Hindus.
		[The second type] is the jizyah that the leader imposes when he conquers the unbelievers (kuffar), and [whose amount] he imposes upon the populace in accordance with the amount of property [they own], as in al-Kafi.
		The jizyah accrues, in our opinion, at the beginning of the year, and it is imposed on the People of the Book (whether they are Arab, non-Arab, or Majians) and idol worshippers (‘abdat al-awthan) from among the non-Arabs, as in al-Kafi...

		It is necessary to clarify to those from whom the jizyah accepted the amount of jizyah, the time of its obligation and to inform them that he will on ly take it from them once every year.
		The humiliation (sighar) mentioned in the ayah: “until they pay the jizyah by hand and they are humbled” [TMQ 9:29] is that the rule of Islam is executed upon them and that they do not display anything of their disbelief nor anything which is forbidden in the deen of Islam.

	DAWN - Opinion; July 20, 2003
		On first reading the shariat seems to require non-Muslims to pay jizyah, an annual poll tax, because they don’t pay zakat, even though they are entitled to the same protection of life and property that the state owes to Muslims, and because they are, in addition, exempted from military service.
		The second pious caliph, Umar bin Khattab, fixed the jizyah at 48 “dirhams” for the wealthy, 24 for the middle classes, and 12 for the poor.

	Economic thought in the Christian West and that of Islam
		In all ages, Kharaj constituted a major source of revenue for the Islamic state; it belonged to the community as a whole and not to a particular group.
		Jizyah was criticized by many non-Muslim historians as an arbitrary tax imposed on Non-Muslims.
		The derived meaning, which became the technical meaning, was a poll-tax levied on those who did not accept Islam, but were willing to live under the protection of Islam, and were thus tacitly willing to submit to its ideals being enforced in the Muslim State, saving only their personal liberty of conscience as regarded themselves.

		Meanwhile the latter, as regards to all matters, is decided by the payment of a fix amount of Jizyah- tax and their lives, property honor and places of worship will be protected in lieu thereof.
		Jizyah is translated as “poll tax” which is generally and wrongly understood as a tax which the non-Muslims alone have to pay in exchange for the permission to maintain their faith- like it or not- left the impression that they are different level of citizen, in comparison with Muslim.
		This tax was not imposed on the Christians, as some would has us think, as a penalty for their refusal to accept Muslim faith, but was paid by them in common with other dhimmis or non-Muslim subjects of the state whose religion preclude them from serving in the army.

		If the term ‘jizyah’ is too offensive to non-Muslims, it can always be changed: ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattab levied the jizyah upon the Christians of Bani Taghlib and called it sadaqah (alms) out of consideration for their feelings.
		The jizyah was also imposed on Muslim men who could afford to buy their way out of military service.
		The jizyah was also not imposed on the Greek Christians who had supervised the building of viaducts, which carried water to Constantinople, nor on those who guarded the ammunition in that city, as just compensation for their services to the state.

		The assessment seems to have been lenient because at no time did jizyah form an important source of revenue, and a very large percentage of the non-Muslim population was exempt for one reason or another.
		Although the income from jizyah is said to have been considerable, Aurangzeb sacrificed a considerable sum of money by giving up a large number of cesses called abwabs which were not sanctioned by the shara and were hence considered illegal.
		Secondly, jizyah was to be collected by honest, God-fearing Muslims, who were especially appointed for the purpose, and its proceeds were reserved for the ulama.

		For it is obvious that a maximum freedom that can be allowed to those who do not adopt the way of Allah but choose to tread the ways of error is that they should be tolerated to lead the life they like.
		This is different from the case of someone in the West who refuses to pay his tax for whatever reason; he is punished, though it must be stated not by execution, for breaking the law.

		As Shaykh Maududi readily admits, in an Islamic state non-Muslims HAVE NO SAY IN GOVERNANCE:

		These powers should be wrested from them by the followers of the true Faith, who should assume sovereignty and lead others towards the Right Way, while they should become their subjects and pay jizyah.
