Summary/Abstract: In this interesting study, I will try to point out the Qur'anic principles regarding the People of the Book. Muslims live in communities with people who have different worldviews; somewhere as a majority, and in some places as a minority. The Qur'an tells us how the life and mutual communication between the various religious communities started and how it unfolded during the Revelation of the final Book of Allah. As an additional element for the better understanding of the Qur'anic expression on the mentioned topic, we used statements and opinions of one contemporary Qur'anic scholar. Ibn Ashur has helped us to present People of the Book in a lot clearer manner. The readers of this study will certainly reflect or check their previous knowledge of the addressed topics. This article describes the role of the People of the Book in the life of the last Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and their relationship to Islam at that time. This may help us to build the correct position in relation to the Jews and Christians by using the methods of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
