By differentiating punctually and thoroughly adequate between the religious rulings of the scholars, the policies of the rulers, and daily reality of the people, it enables one to understand these three phenomenons as entities, but within their inter-complemantary context. As a result, it made it possible through literary evidence to distinguish between the written formality as laid down in the fiqh-literature, and daily reality as lived by all people. Between these two a discrepancy is often to be observed, which means that the question whether The Islamic law of Andalusia was tolerant cannot homogeneously be answered. Alternatively, to answer the question whether Islamic law of Andalusia concerning non-Muslims was tolerant, one is to decide which touchstone he or she is using. Furthermore, this thesis reserves likewise a focus on the eschatological motivations behind the seemingly mundane character of the rulings concerning non-Muslims, a focus which is still too poorly integrated in academic works.Show less
