In this book, while emphasizing the principle of peace and the necessity of fulfilling covenants in Islam, the jurisprudential rulings of the dhimma contract, its pillars and conditions, and the obligations of the contracting parties are examined. Citing Islamic sources, the author shows that the dhimma contract is a type of bilateral pact with specific conditions, wherein minorities pay the jizya in exchange for services provided by the Islamic state (neither as punishment nor humiliation); services such as security of life, [[religious freedom]], and judicial independence. From a jurisprudential perspective, concluding this contract is solely within the authority of the legitimate religious ruler and is conditional upon observing Islamic standards, such as not violating sovereignty or promoting vice. | In this book, while emphasizing the principle of peace and the necessity of fulfilling covenants in Islam, the jurisprudential rulings of the dhimma contract, its pillars and conditions, and the obligations of the contracting parties are examined.

# Breach of the dhimma contract by the committed minorities: According to the principle of the necessity of fulfilling the covenant, which is accepted by all nations and religions, the breach of the contract by the committed religious groups is also a crime and an unforgivable betrayal (p. 307). From the perspective of jurists, non-payment of the financial obligation of jizya, refusal to accept the judicial rulings of Islam, and armed rebellion against Muslims certainly entail the breach of the dhimma contract (p. 308). Also, the apostasy of the People of the Book is considered an indirect breach of the dhimma contract (p. 309), but other violations and crimes are not considered a breach of the dhimma pact, and only the prescribed punishments are enforced; violations such as assault on the honor or property of Muslims, espionage for the enemy, insulting the Prophet (a) and the infallible Imams (a), public display of forbidden acts and Islamic prohibitions, and building new temples (p. 308). | # Breach of the dhimma contract by the committed minorities: According to the principle of the necessity of fulfilling the covenant, which is accepted by all nations and religions, the breach of the contract by the committed religious groups is also a crime and an unforgivable betrayal (p. 307).
