The Qur’an commands us to show affection and compassion to devout Jews and Christians

Muslims believe in all the Prophets sent by Allah before our Prophet
(saas), and love and respect themall equally. Similarly, they also
harbor a profound love and respect for those people who were genuinely
devoted to these true Prophets and who defended the truth with them.
Verses from the Qur'an referring to the peoples of the Prophets read
as follows:
You who believe! Be helpers of Allah as Jesus son of Maryam said to
the Disciples, 'Who will be my helpers to Allah?' The Disciples said,
'We will be the helpers of Allah.' One faction of the tribe of Israel
believed and the other disbelieved. So We supported those who believed
against their enemy and they becamevictorious. (Surat as-Saff,14)
... There is a community among the People of theBook who are upright.
They recite Allah's signs throughout the night, and they prostrate.
They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin the right and
forbid the wrong, and compete in doing good. They are among the
righteous. You will not be denied the reward for any good thing you
do. Allah knows those who have taqwa [fear of Allah]. (Surah Al
'Imran, 113-115)
Because Muslims behave according to the Qur'an and the Sunna of our
Prophet (saas), they also love the People of the Book. They feel
affection for those who remained loyal to Allah's Prophets and the
mission imparted to them. It is for these reasons that there can be no
question of a Muslim who has faith in Allah and His Book ever adopting
an anti-Semitic line. That is because it is wrong to be anti-Semitic,
in other words to harbor enmity toward devout Jews who obeyed the
Prophet Moses(as) and his mission. It is unlawful, according to the
Qur'an, to feel anger toward the People of Israel because they live by
the Torah sent down by Allah to them through the Prophet Moses (as).
Such a moral conception is unbecoming of Muslims.
What matters for us is the attitude of our Prophet (saas), who always
treatedJews believing in Allah in his own day with great understanding
and justice.The People of the Book were treated with great compassion
in the time of our Prophet (saas) and thefour Caliphs who
followed.These people were watched over and protected, and their
rights preserved with justice. Our Prophet (saas) both called on them
to convert to Islam but also treated them well and allowed them to
live by their own faith.
If according to the Qur'an, the attitude to be adoptedtoward the
People of the Book were one of hostility,then the first person to do
that would obviously havebeen our Prophet (saas) himself. The fact is,
however, that historic documents make it clear that in the time of our
Prophet (saas) and the Caliphs who came after him, devout Jews and
other People of the Book who sought shelter with Muslims, asked for
protection and did not fight against them were always treated in a
loving and protective manner. (You can read more detailsfrom here. )
Allah clarifies this in these verses:
Allah does not forbid you from being good to those who have not fought
you in the religion or driven you from your homes, or from being just
towards them. Allah loves those who are just. (Surat al-Mumtahana, 8)
Those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabaeans and the
Christians, all who believe in Allah and the Last Day and act rightly
will feel no fear and will know no sorrow. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 69)
It is for these reasons that,according to the verses of the Qur'an, it
is atheists, associaters that Muslims need to wage an intellectual
struggle against, both in the time of our Prophet (saas) and in the
present day, and not devout believers. Our Prophet (saas) never fought
devout Jews or Christians who believed in the Oneness of Allah. The
Prophet (saas) and his companions only fought against atheists and
those pagans and hypocrites who did all they could, physically and
psychologically, to harm Muslims and prevent the spread of the
religion and stop Muslims preaching.
Looking at the battles fought by our Prophet (saas), these were always
fought for defensive purposes. In other words, the Prophet (saas)
never embarked on war against those who did not declare war on him,
and never continued fighting againstthose who wished to put astop to
it or asked for terms. Our Prophet (saas) remained completely loyalto
the conditions regarding war revealed byAllah in the Qur'an. Allah
reveals this in the Qur'an on the subject:
Permission to fight is given to those who are fought against because
they have been wronged– truly Allah has the power to come to their
support – (Surat al-Hajj, 69)
But if they cease, Allah isEver-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Baqara, 192)

The Qur’an with vowel points has notchanged until our day

Allah stated in the verses that the Qur'an is unchangeable:
...THERE IS NO CHANGING THE WORDS OF Allah... (Surat al-An'am, 34)
The Words of your Lord are perfect in truthfulness and justice. NO ONE
CAN CHANGE HIS WORDS. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (Surat
al-An'am, 115)
IT IS WE WHO HAVE SENT DOWN THE REMINDER AND WE WHO WILL PRESERVE IT.
(Surat al-Hijr,9)
It is truly a noble Qur'an ina WELL PROTECTED Book. (Surat al-Waqi'a, 77-78)
FALSEHOOD CAN NOT REACH IT FROM BEFORE IT OR BEHIND IT – it is a
revelation from One Who is All-Wise, Praiseworthy. (Surah Fussilat,
42)
As our Lord reveals in the verses above the Qur'an will remain
unchanged. The Qur'an has not survived to our day merely in written
form. In the time of our Prophet (saas) there were hafidhs learning
the Qur'an by heart. Consequently the Qur'an with vowel points in our
day was prepared ina way convenient to the memorization of the Hafidhs
of the time. The Qur'an memorized by the Hafidhs of the time of our
our Prophet (saas) is exactly the same as the Qur'an in our day
insha'Allah.

There is a great secret in the difficulttests undergone by the Prophets

Almighty Allah of course knows that all the prophets He created were
pure believers possessed of lofty moral values; it is He Who created
them with a true depth and pure faith. Yet despite being our Lord's
chosen, superior and honored servants, the prophets were still
subjected to difficult tests all through their lives. Difficulties are
agreat means whereby people could witness theirhonesty and adopt their
moral values as role models, for the prophets to improve their
closeness to and love of Allah, and for their goodness to increase
many times over in the Hereafter.
This climate of testing is described by means of the stories related
in the Qur'an. When he came to the sea, pursued by Pharaoh's army, the
Prophet Moses (as) saw no apparent way of escape. Those who failed to
properly appreciate the infinite might of Allah said,"We are trapped,"
but as revealed in verses the Prophet Moses (as) said "Never! My Lord
is with me and He will guide me." (Surat ash-Shuara', 62)
Throughout that difficult time when he was imprisoned in the belly of
the fish, the Prophet Jonah (as) constantly turned to Allah and, as
revealed in a verse, "...called out (to the Lord) in absolute
despair." (Surat al-Qalam, 47) The Prophet Jonah (as), who sincerely
turned to Allah during this difficult test, was rescued from the belly
of the fish through our Lord's mercy and compassion, and was then sent
to a community as their prophet. This difficult test of the Prophet
Jonah is describedas follows in the Qur'an:
Jonah too was one of the Messengers.
When he ran away to the fully laden ship
and cast lots and lost.
Then the fish devoured him and he was to blame.
Had it not been that he was a man who glorifiedAllah,
he would have remainedinside its belly until the Day they are raised again.
So We cast him up onto the beach and he was sick;
and We caused a gourd tree to grow over him.
We sent him to a hundred thousand or even more.
They believed and so Wegave them enjoyment for a time.
(Surat as-Saffat, 139-148)
When our holy Prophet (saas) was attacked by thepagans on two sides
together with his community there appeared to be no escape. This was
the day of a mostdifficult test. At the same time, it was a very
special test in which true believers with a genuine faith in Allah,
Who trusted in Allah's help with all their hearts, and who trusted in
and embraced Him, could remain strong and expect His help. As ordained
by Allah, those who were unable to properly appreciate Him and the
hypocrites lost hope of His mercy and began dreaming up false ideas of
their own. Our All-Mighty Lord described this difficult climate in
another verse:
When they came at you from above you and below you, when your eyes
rolled and your hearts rose to your throats, and you thoughtunworthy
thoughts about Allah, at that pointthe believers were tested and
severely shaken.
When hypocrites and people with sickness in their hearts said, 'What
Allah and His Messenger promised us was mere delusion.' and a group
ofthem said, 'People of Yathrib, Your position is untenable so
return!' some of them asked the Prophet to excuse them, saying, 'Our
houses are exposed,' when they were not exposed; it was merely that
they wanted to run away. (Surat al-Ahzab, 10-13)
In this difficult climate, ourProphet (saas) and the pure believers
with him hoped for Allah's help and support and placed their trust in
Him, saw that this had been promised by ourAlmighty Lord and gave
thanks. Almighty Allah reveals in a verse:
When the believers saw the Confederates they said: 'This is what Allah
and His Messenger promised us. Allah and His Messenger told us the
truth.' It only increased them in faith and in submission. (Surat
al-Ahzab, 22)
As our Lord reveals in a later verse; "Allah made itunnecessary for
the believers to fight. Allah is Most Strong, Almighty." (Surat
al-Ahzab, 25)
The Prophet Yusuf (as) also underwent many great tests and hardships
in his life. The way he was falsely accused and left in a dungeon for
years are ofcourse very difficult tests. But there is no doubt that
one of the greatest tests he faced, and bore bravelyand happily for
Allah's approval, is the way he was thrown into a well by his brothers
at an early age and waited in the darkness to be rescued. If a caravan
had not passed by during his time in the well, if the people in it
hadnot decided to draw waterfrom the well, then he would have gone
through a martyrdom lasting several days. There is no doubt that
everything happens by Allah's Will, however. Allah created Prophet
Yusuf (as) as a worthy, superior and holy prophet and also ordainedhis
salvation in the finest manner in destiny.
