An Excellent Example of Religious Tolerance

In 628 AD, a delegation from St. Catherine’s Monastery came to Prophet Muhammad and requested his protection.  He responded by granting them a charter of rights, which is reproduced below in its entirety.  St. Catherine’s Monastery is located at the foot of Mt. Sinai and is the world’s oldest monastery.  It possesses a huge collection of Christian manuscripts, second only to the Vatican, and is a world heritage site.  It is a treasure house of Christian history that has remained safe for 1400 years under Muslim protection.
