Ahl Al-Kitab

A

“People of the Book”- the title the Quran gives to the Jews and Christians, because they received divine revelations (see Sura 3:72, 113). In the beginning, Muhammad said, “He who wrongs a Jew or a Christian will have myself as his accuser on the Day of Judgment.” However in his last hour he apparently changed his mind, saying “Two religiosn in the Arabian Peninsula are not to be tolerated.” Abu Bakr applied this principle in his message to Ahl al - Kitab living in Arabia.
