Imam Ali a.s. to Maalik al-Ashtar
In the name of ALLAH, the Beneficient, the Merciful
Remember, Maalik, that amongst your subjects there are two kinds of people: those who have the same religion as you have; they are brothers to you, and those who have religions other than that of yours, they are human beings like you.
Nahjul Balaagha, Letter 53
