ANALYSIS OF THE IDEOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF ARMED STRUGGLE IN ISLAM
Abstract
Armed struggle is an issue of life- and -death judgments and that’s why it
needs solid justification from ethical and religious principles. Defending
human life and preserving the society from anarchy, disintegration and
destruction sometimes waging armed struggle become necessary and a
group of people or nation is compelled to do so. Now one of the
important aspects in this regard is, in which circumstances the nation is
allowed for an armed struggle. All of the major world religions provide
guidelines in this domain from strong militancy to absolute pacifism and
just war theory. Islam too acknowledges the right of defense and
preserving life to human beings. This paper seeks to map out the
ideological approaches to armed struggle in Islam. The important
scriptures from the holy Quran, Narrations of the holy prophet are
briefly introduced and the relevant verses are extracted and summarized
in the light of exegesis.
