Hey buddy here is ur answer !!!

Jewish communities have existed across the Middle Eastand North Africa sinceAntiquity. By the time of theMuslim conquests of the 7th century, these ancient communities had been ruled by various empires and included the Babylonian,Persian, Carthaginian, Greek,Roman, Byzantine, Ottomanand Yemenite Jews.Jews under Islamic rule were given the status of dhimmi, along with certain other pre-Islamic religious groups.[1]Though second-class citizens, these non-Muslim groups were nevertheless accorded certain rights and protections as "people of the book". During waves of persecution in Medieval Europe, manyJews found refuge in Muslim lands.[2] For instance, Jews expelled from the Iberian Peninsula were invited to settle in various parts of theOttoman Empire, where they would often form a prosperous model minority of merchants acting as intermediaries for their Muslim rulers.Today, Jews residing inMuslim countries have beenreduced to a small fraction of their former sizes, with Iranand Turkey being home to the largest remaining Jewish populations.
