Islam means "peace" and "submission to God." With its ethical
system of instruction for a balanced life based on faith and
reason, how did this "religion of peace" come to be feared? After
the 9/11 tragedy, Islam was judged by many in the West to be a hub
of terrorism and a threat to world peace. People everywhere voiced
concern over its concepts of war and Jihad. Ashraf traces these and
related concepts from their inception in Qur'anic injunctions and
the Prophet's precepts to their current interpretation, evaluating
them in their spiritual, moral, juridical, and cultural contexts.
Misunderstandings about Islam lie at the core of much bitterness
and violence. With no central authority to definitively interpret
its teachings, misconceptions regarding Islam's ideology of war and
peace abound. To label Islam as militant is to misinterpret jihad
as simply a call to war and to ignore its laws governing warfare,
which emphasize restraint as far as possible. Islamic Philosophy of
War and Peace explains the spirit of Islam, its mandate for peace,
and what the pluralistic notion of jihad stands for in the hope
that clearing up ambiguities will foster peaceful relations between
Muslims and the rest of the world.
