The main operative theory of the dhimma derives from the concept of jihad. Until the entire world is conquered for the religion of [[Allah]], the blood and treasury of every [[infidel]] on earth is lawful to be taken by the Muslim ummah. The dhimma is a pact of "protection" between the Muslim state and the non-Muslim. In return for fay, [[jizya]] and kharaaj the Muslim state ceases the state of jihad upon the dhimmi and allows him to keep his family, safety and some of his property. The pact comes with many strings attached though: the stipulations of the dhimma entail many restrictions upon the life and freedoms of the dhimmi which are designed to protect and promote the Islamic religion. | |||
