penjelasan tentang jizya

artificialster

kebanyakkan orang bukan islam sering menngunakan alasan jizya untuk condem Islam. mereka mengatakan
bahawa jizya ni seolah2 wang perlindungan yang perlu dibayar oleh orang yahudi supaya tidak dibunuh oleh orang islam. saya ini bertanya pendapat dan ulasan dari saudara2 yang mungkin lebih arif untuk membincangkan hal ini.

In states ruled by Islamic law, jizya or jizyah (Arabic: جزْية) is a poll tax imposed on non-Muslim adult males, the payment of which confers the "right" for them to live as second-class citizens with no religious freedoms and highly limited civil rights even compared to the general populace.

Shakir and Khalifa's English translations of the Qur'an render jizya as "tax", while Pickthal translates it as "tribute". Yusuf Ali prefers to transliterate the term as jizyah.

Commentators disagree on the definition and derivation of the word jizya:

Yusuf Ali states "The derived meaning, which became the technical meaning, was a poll-tax levied from those who did not accept Islam, but were willing to live under the protection of Islam, and were thus tacitly willing to submit to its ideals being enforced in the Muslim State."

Monqiz As-Saqqar attributes the word jizya to the root word jaza meaning "compensate", and defines it as "a sum of money given in return for protection".[1]

Shaikh Sayed Sabiq, in the Fiqh Alsunna (a commonly used source of fiqh), also states that the underlying root of the word jizya is jaza, and defines it as "A sum of money to be put on anyone who enters the themah (protection and the treaty of the muslims) from the people of the book".[2]

Ibn Al-Mutaraz derives the word from 'idjz

Application

Jizya was applied to every free adult male member of the People of the Book, and/or non-Muslim living in lands under Muslim rule. There was no amount permanently fixed for it, though the payment usually depended on wealth: the Kitab al-Kharaj of Abu Yusuf sets the amounts at 48 dirhams for the richest (e.g. moneychangers), 24 for those of moderate wealth, and 12 for craftsmen and manual laborers.2 Females, children, the poor, and hermits were exempt from it.

The disabled and elderly were exempt unless they were independently wealthy, as were mendicant monks梩hose living in productive monasteries had to pay. Historically Muslim rulers also attempted to collect jizya from Hindus, Sikhs and Zoroastrians under their rule. The collection of the tax was often the duty of the elders of those communities.

In return, those who paid the jizya were not required to serve in the military and were considered under the protection of the Muslim state, with certain rights and responsibilities. Non-Muslims were also exempt from zakat, or mandatory charity imposed on Muslims. In addition, if a non-Muslim chose to serve in the army, he would be exempt from the jizya[citation needed]. If he refused to pay the jizya, he might be imprisoned, as Abu Yusuf recommended. 3

In modern times, the jizya and zakat taxes have been replaced by more modern forms of taxation.
