Summary/Abstract: Qur’an (Hajj 22/40) mentions the different kinds of Christian shrines and how they survived. In this paper I show what the main theme in the above-mentioned verse (ayah) is, and how the commentators interpreted the maintenance of these shrines in Islamic regions over the times, and what sorts of practices took place during the Islamic period. In order to explain this issue better, first I will examine the Qur’anic perspective towards to the Christians. I argue that some commentators misunderstood the ayah as they claimed that protection of shrines belongs to their specific times, and interpreted the places in where the name of Allah was mentioned, as only mosques.
