The answer

Discrimination between a Muslim and a non-Muslim is necessary in religion, for Islam is the true religion that accepts no other. Allah Almighty said: "Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam," and "And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers." As for dealings, the principle is not to differentiate in rights of fairness; they have what we have and owe what we owe. However, this rule is not absolute due to differences in rights and obligations. An example of non-differentiation is praising and rewarding the doer of good, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, indicated regarding Mut'im ibn 'Adi. This does not mean the disappearance of the difference between Islam and Christianity.
