The term Ahl al-Dimma, meaning "People of the Pact," developed in Islamic law to refer to non-Muslims living in an Islamic state who are granted protection and certain rights in exchange for paying a tax known as jizya. This concept emerged during the early Islamic conquests when Muslim rulers sought to integrate diverse populations while maintaining social order and political stability. Ahl al-Dimma were afforded specific legal protections and autonomy in personal matters, reflecting a pragmatic approach to governance in multi-religious societies. Over time, this term evolved to encapsulate broader discussions about citizenship, rights, and coexistence within Islamic jurisprudence.

What term did the Muslim to describe those who did not accept Islam?
It depends on the nature of their non-acceptance. If they accepted Islamic rulership, but did not convert to the religion of Islam, they were called Ahl ad-Dhimma, meaning "Protected People". A subset of the Ahl ad-Dhimma were also called Ahl al-Kitaab, meaning "People of the Book" and usually used in reference to Jews and Christians. If they did not accept Islamic rulership or the religion of Islam, they were called "Unbelievers" or "Infidels". The Arabic term used was typically, Kuffar, meaning "those who deny the Truth about God".

Who are the infidels in the koran?
According to Islam, there are three general words used in Arabic to refer to non-believers in an Islamic context. There is Kaafer (often spelled Kafir) which means "denier" or "negator" since they are denying or negating the truth of God. A Kaafer is someone who rejects God in an Islamic context. There is also Mushrik which refers to a polytheist or pagan, i.e. someone who believes in more than one God. Finally, there is Ahl al-Kitaab or Ahl adh-Dhimma which refer to the "People of the Book" or "Protected Peoples", non-Muslim monotheists like Jews and Christians.The term "infidel" in English is usually used as an analog for Kaafer, not for the other groups, so a person who is not a Muslim is not necessarily an infidel either, he could be a Mushrik or a member of Ahl al-Kitaab. However, the treatment of Mushriks is not terribly different than the treatment of Kaafers and the treatment of the members of Ahl al-Kitaab depends strongly on the particular ruler in place at a given time.
