Jizya

“Submit to Islam and be safe. Or agree to the payment of the Jizya, and you and your people will be under our protection, else you will have only yourself to blame for the consequences, for I bring the men who desire death as ardently as you desire life.”
 
— Khalid Ibn Al-Walid to Persian Governor of Mesopotamia
