This book, "Islam and the Right to Citizenship", is another significant study by Prof. Dr. Ali Muhiyuddin Qaradaghi. It meticulously clarifies the linguistic, scientific, and common meanings of citizenship and presents the Islamic stance on this matter.
It discusses the rights of non-Muslims under an Islamic state, shedding light on the Covenant of Medina, which is considered the first law and constitution in human history to protect rights. In this regard, it provides several examples from the Prophet's covenants with Christians and Jews, and also refers to a collection of advanced etiquettes for dealing with non-Muslims.
Within the content of his book, Dr. Ali focuses on the topic of Jizyah (poll tax) and many other topics related to the book's title.
Finally, he uses two examples from the Quran and the life of the Prophet (PBUH) as an entry point to understand the issue of Muslim minorities in non-Islamic countries: these are the example of Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him) in Egypt and the Muslim migrants in Abyssinia.
