”“والإسلام يحترم غير المسلمين في المجتمع الإسلامي، ويعتبرهم في ذمة الله وذمة رسوله وذمة المسلمين، أي في عهدهم وضمانهم، وهذا تعبير ديني يعني لدى المسلم: أنه يتعبد لله تعالى بالمحافظة عليهم والدفاع عنهم والبر لهم والإقساط إليهم. فإن كان التعبير يؤذيهم فليُترك حرصا على شعورهم، والعبرة بالمسميات لا بالأسماء. وقد غيّر عمر بن الخطاب ما هو أهم من ذلك حين طلب إليه نصارى بني تغلب من العرب أنهم يأنفون من كلمة “جزية” وأنهم يريدون أن يدفعوا كل ما يُطلب منهم وأكثر باسم “الصدقة” فقبل عمر منهم ذلك“

Translation

Islam respects non-Muslims in Muslim society, and considers them in the dhimma (protection) of God, His Prophet, and the Muslims, i.e. protected under their trust and guarantee. This [word “dhimma”] is a religious term that means to the Muslim that he serves God by protecting the non-Muslims, defending them, acting kindly toward them and establishing justice with them. If they find this term hurtful, then it should not be used out of respect for their feelings, the important thing is the concept, not the name. Umar ibn al-Khattab had changed something more important when the Christians of Bani Taghlib told him they didn’t like the word “jizyah” (tax) and that they wanted to pay it under the name of “sadaqah” (charity), which Umar accepted from them.
