Title: How do we explain of the pact of umar with Jews and Christians to non muslims
Post by: yahya on September 22, 2016, 12:20:13 AM

Assalam alikum I was just wondering how to do we explain the treaty of umar with non muslims like Jews and Christians weren't allowed to walk on the pavement etc

Such a topic is outside the realms of a Quran centric/Quranist viewpoint. There is no mention of Umar in the Quran.

Although we should remember, that Umar didn't follow the later traditions, as they didn't exist at his time. (-:   A study of his life based on references contemporary to his era would be an interesting exercise in understanding views pre-tradition. For example, references to the sunna of Umar were just as prominent as Muhammad.
