Jizya: the root meaning is compensation. 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. There was no amount permanently fixed for it. It was in acknowledgment that those whose religion was tolerated would in their turn not interfere with the preaching and progress of Islam. Imam Shafi'i suggests one dinar per year, which would be the Arabian gold dinar of the Muslim States. The tax varied in amount, and there were exemptions for the poor, for females and children (according to Abu Hanifa), for slaves, and for monks and hermits. Being a tax on able-bodied males of military age, it was in a sense a commutation for military service.

Maintaining your vehicle usually includes your tires and the rims of your car’s wheels. If you’ve had a blowout, or your rubber is wearing thin, it may be time to replace your tires. In a bad blowout, you may be forced to replace your rims afterward due to bending and other damage. To get a great deal on new rims and tires for your car or truck, you should comparison shop online, or see your local auto parts dealer. If you find a better price on a particular brand elsewhere, many places will match it. Superbuytires.com is a great place to find deals on rims and tires. For the best in cutting edge spinners, tires with good traction and grip, and all of the best name brands, they are worth a look. Tires comes in different diameters and widths to fit the correct rim model for your car or truck. Measuring the diameter of your existing tire is a good way to find out what size you need in order to replace it, especially if you are going to buy a different brand than your previous wheel or tire.

Wheels can be purchased in parts, from the rim to the inside diameter of the wheel, or they can be purchased complete with the tire. If you don’t know how to change the tire yourself, it is best to have this done at the shop where you purchase the tire. Most shops will be glad to perform this service. Otherwise, you should go to an auto mechanic’s shop to have this change performed. Trucks and bigger cars will need bigger tires to accommodate them. In order to get the most for your money, you should be encouraged to shop around. Tires are among the many improvements that have been made to cars and trucks in recent years, and they have kept up with the latest technological advances like the rest of the automobile world. The better tires will cost you more, but they are a good investment as they are guaranteed to last for years, paying for themselves within the first year. You should not forget to rotate them periodically to get the most mileage out of them.

Which Mughal ruler reimposed 'Jizya' in 1679 upon the non-Muslims?

Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb reimposed Jizya on non-Muslims in 1679. According to Mughal records, the Jizya was imposed on Hindus With the object of curbing the infidels, and of distinguishing the land of the faithful from an infidel land. Manucci says that Aurangzeb did this for two reasons: by this time his treasures had begun to shrink owing to expenditure on his campaigns; and secondly, to force the Hindus to become Muslims.


Who pays Jizya today?

No Muslim-majority country has an official policy of imposing a Jizya tax any more. The few incidents that have been recorded in recent years are by militant groups like the Taliban in regions under their control, but these have been condemned as "extortion" by other Muslims.


How did akbars leaderships approach differ from that of Aurangzeb?

akbar stopped the jizya tax and celebrated devali and went along the solar calendar and arabic study was discouraged while aurangzeb brought the jizya tax paid by non-muslims back and banned dancing and singing in court and himself wrote copies of the quran and quilted caps himself and earned money in that way. SO THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THAT AKBAR DISCOURAGED Islam AND AURANGZEB WAS A SUNNI DEVOUT MUSLIM.


Why was jizya returned after the battle?

Which battle? If the Muslims subjugated a group of non-Muslims, then those non-Muslims converted to Islam, it is possible that their jizya could be "refunded" (but not their kharaj taxes which remain tied to their land even after conversion). Or, if the battle ended in negotiations, an alternative settlement could be worked out in a treaty. Normally & in the Quran and primary Hadith, however, no exemptions/no returns are laid out. The non-Muslim must convert, pay, or be fought by the Muslims under Islamic law.


What is the purpose of the Jizya for Ahl al-Kitaab in Islam?

The purpose of the jizya tax for the Ahl al-Kitaab is in order to humiliate the Non-Muslims required to pay it (usually Jews and Christians). This is specifically referenced in Qur'an 9:29, which is the only verse in the Qur'an to mention the jizya. A number of Hadiths and Islamic sages have gone on further to say that the Non-Muslim should also be physically struck and/or forced to bow before the Muslim tax collector as a sign of his humiliation. Qur'an 9:29: (Sahih International): Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth [Islam] from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.


Why did the people dislike the jizya tax?

Answer 1Jizya was a form of tax laid on non-Muslims residing in Muslim-controlled areas. It was synonymous to the Zakat that Muslims pay every year to the government with the difference that it was for non-Muslims and had numerous exceptions. They people disliked that Jizya because they had to pay money from their own savings to the Muslim rulers. In today's terms, it can be seen as the usual resentment to VAT or other Tax levied on all of us.Answer 2The resentment toward the jizya among the Dhimmi has nothing to do with the actual expense of the tax. That is to say that the rate was not in any way unconscionable and (considering many taxes levied in similar periods) was actually quite trivial. The hatred that the Dhimmi have toward the jizya is that it was not intended solely to gain revenue, but to single out and humiliate non-Muslims for their "failure to realize that Islam was correct". It was protection money, similar to what one might give to a mobster who runs a neighborhood so that he does not murder your family. This sense among the Dhimmi that the Muslims would only tolerate them as long as they "paid on time" made them angry. Muslim continual failure to recognize this past continues to incense the descendants of and current Dhimmi in Muslim countries today.


How are Christians and Jews viewed by Muslims?

They were labeled as dhimmi. Judaism and Christianity had to be kept low-profile, and (for example) church bells, or blowing the shofar-horn, were forbidden.They also had to pay a special tax (Jizya); and any dhimmi avoiding this payment would have his safety forfeited.


How were the religious policies of Aurangzeb different from his predecessors?

Aurangzeb implemented more conservative religious policies compared to his predecessors. He enforced Islamic law more strictly, imposed jizya on non-Muslims, and banned certain Hindu practices. This led to increased tensions and religious conflict during his reign.
