Muhammad's views on Christians

Muhammad's views on Christians were shaped through his interactions with them. Muhammad had a generally positive view of Christians and viewed them as fellow receivers of Abrahamic revelation (People of the Book). However, he also criticised them for some of their beliefs. He sent various letters to Christian world leaders inviting them to "Submission to God, Islam".^[1]^[2]^[3] According to Islamic tradition, he interacted with Christians while in Mecca.
