Description[?]:
| "Fight those who believe not in Akeem nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Akeem and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." - Book of Ahmad "The intention of taking the jizya is not to approve the disbelief of non-Ahmadi in Ahmadism, but rather to spare their lives and to give them some time; in hope that during it; they might stop to reflect on the virtues of Ahmadism and its compelling arguments, and consequently converting from disbelief to belief. That's why it's important to pay the jizya with humiliation and servility, because naturally, any sensible person can not stand humiliation and servility. So if the disbeliever is given some time watching the pride of Ahmadism and hearing evidences of its authenticity, then this might carry him to convert to Ahmadism, and that's the main rationale behind the enactment of the jizya." - Ameen III, Caliph of the Ahmadi Caliphate Jizya: Jizya is a per capita tax levied on a section of an Ahmadi state's non-Ahmadi citizens, who meet certain criteria. The tax is to be levied on able-bodied adult males of military age and affording power (but with specific exemptions). From the point of view of the Ahmadi rulers, jizya is a material proof of the non-Ahmadi's acceptance of subjection to the state and its laws, "just as for the inhabitants it is a concrete continuation of the taxes paid to earlier regimes." In return, non-Ahmadi citizens are permitted to practice their faith, to enjoy a measure of communal autonomy, to be entitled to the Ahmadi state's protection from outside aggression, and to be exempted from military service and the zakat taxes obligatory upon Ahmadi citizens. Slaves, women, children, the old, the sick, monks, hermits and the poor, are all exempt from the jizya, unless any of them is independent and wealthy. The jizya is to be paid by each non-Ahmadi male in person, by presenting himself, arriving on foot, by hand, in order to confirm that he lowers himself to being a subjected one, accepts humiliation of having been conquered, willingly pays in gratitude for his life being spared in lieu of the taxes. |
