Interpretation of War in Islam

Abstract

The language of religion is not simple, its symbols and meanings are permanent; understanding it needs not only knowledge but also wisdom and God’s mercy too. Every word has many “faces” of its understanding; in the Islamic tradition it is distinguished with seven kinds (sab’atu awjuhin). Words kital, harb and jihad in the Qur’an are words that need to be studied within the integrity of the Holy Book, where they disclose to us their full meaning and point out that the goal is to defend, establish and practice the right as the most precious and universal thing. Followers of celestial religions are called to make a hermeneutical turn that would enable the review, re-reading and re-interpretation of the personal and common religious tradition and history, so as to transform the differences into mutual enrichment, and common values to contribute for the building of a more humane world and better future
