N2  - "Here, Arafat Madi Shoukri delves into fifteen centuries of Arab and Islamic history, examining hundreds of ancient sources to establish Islam's position on refugees. To trace the origins of the Islamic concept of aman, he begins by exploring life in the period of the jahiliyya, before the advent of Islam, to explore the idea of jiwar (protection), which was a governing custom at that period. Refugee status in Islam furthermore highlights how the Prophet, the first asylum seeker in Islam, and his companions exploited jiwar on their journey to establish their state in Medina. More importantly, Shoukri also focuses on how these first Muslims treated those non-Muslims who sought jiwar in Medina"--Publisher description, p. [2] of dust jacket
