v1.c10.s2.41

Toleration was shown not only to the members of the different sects of Hinduism, to Buddhists, and to Jains, but also to the followers of Islām, some of whom had settled as traders in a few ports of Western India. Muslim historians have themselves admitted that Arab immigrants were allowed to build mosques and to practise their religion openly without let or hindrance. Not only this, but Muslim magistrates were appointed to administer the civil code of Islām to their co-religionists.⁴
