Question 6 • World History Q2 - Reid - 6220 - 2026/27

Why did Muslim leaders extend religious tolerance to Jews and Christians?

Answer
A
Muslim caliphs believed that freedom of worship resulted in a stronger empire.
B
Jews and Christians also practiced the Five Pillars of Islam.
C
Muslims believe they share the same God with Jews and Christians.
D
Muslim caliphs understood that working with Jews and Christians would increase trade.

Explanation

Muslims, Jews, and Christians are all monotheists and understand themselves to worship the same God, though their religious beliefs and practices differ. This shared belief helps explain why Muslim leaders extended tolerance to Jews and Christians. They did not practice the Five Pillars of Islam, so choice B is incorrect.
