Muslim rulers exhibited a tolerant attitude towards Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians as long as they accepted Islam's political rule. Non-Muslims were allowed to choose their own religious leaders and settle internal disputes without any interference from the Muslim rulers. This policy of tolerance was known as the "dhimmi system" and allowed non-Muslims to practice their own religions and live under Islamic rule. However, non-Muslims were subject to certain restrictions such as paying a special tax and were not allowed to hold positions of power over Muslims.
