اسلامی ریاست میں جہاد کے تصور (علت القتال) کا تنقیدی جائزہ
Keywords:
Jihad, Illat-Ul- Qital, Islamic state, Muharaba, Itmam-e-HujjjatAbstract
This study critically analyzes the concept of Jihad in an Islamic state, focusing on the rationale for warfare (‘Illat al-Qital). It explores varying interpretations of Jihad across traditional and modernist perspectives, emphasizing the need for a balanced understanding rooted in Islamic principles. The research examines Quranic and Sunnah-based foundations of Jihad, historical applications, and the evolution of its jurisprudential interpretations. Key debates include the causative factors of warfare, such as disbelief (Kufr), the dominance of non-Islamic power structures (Shaukat-Ul-Kufr), and aggression or hostility (Muharaba). By addressing misinterpretations and contemporary challenges, the study seeks to clarify the ethical framework of Jihad within Islamic teachings. This work contributes to a nuanced understanding of Jihad's objectives—establishing justice, eliminating oppression, and ensuring peace—and offers insights for its application in modern political and social contexts, countering misconceptions while adhering to Islamic jurisprudence.
