Al-Islam calls for Muslims and non-Muslims to cooperate with one another in good deeds, justice, and mutual benefit for humanity. The precedent for this cooperation is the alliance of al-Fudul (Hilf al-Fudul), a pre-Islamic pact of justice made by the people of Mecca in which they pledged to support an oppressed person no matter what tribe he was from. The Prophet spoke highly of this pact and made clear that he would support any similar pact with non-Muslims after the advent of Islam.

Hilf al-Fudul (Arabic: حلف الفضول‎) was a 7th-century alliance created by various Meccans, including Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, to establish justice and fair commercial dealing. Because of Muhammad Ibn Abdullah's role in its formation, the alliance plays a significant role in Islamic Ethics and Jurisprudence. Because fudul commonly means "honest" the alliance is often translated as League of the Honest. The pact holds significance in Islamic Ethics and Jurisprudence. According to some Islamic historians, the pact represents Islam's interest in human rights and protection of such rights. The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (PBUH), later as a Muslim, accepted the substance of the agreement made by primarily non-Muslims. Thus, history draws three important principles from this:

Islam embraces values derived from the human conscience that are outside of the Islamic tradition. This is because the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (PBUH) had acknowledged a pact before revelation, in the pre--Islamic era.

Islam acknowledges the righteousness of non-Muslims. In this case, the non-Muslims had defended justice and the oppressed.

Islam, instead of building allegiance to a closed community, requires allegiance to a set of universal principles. The message of Islam is not a closed value system, or at variance or conflict with other value system Islam embraces values derived from the human conscience that are outside of the Islamic
