Jizyah: A Humiliation to Dhimmis?
Dear sheikh, as-salamu `alaykum wa rahmatu Allah.Many people see that the wisdom behind imposing the jizyah on the dhimmis is to humiliate and insult them. They quote the verse that reads, (Until they pay the jizyah with willing submission and feel themselves subdued) (At-Tawbah 9: 29). Is this true?
