The battle of Uhud is one of the most important events of the early Islamic history, even if it is considered by some chroniclers as a bitter defeat for Muslims. It was also a good lesson for Muslims to understand meanings of discipline, and respect of the commander’s orders, war strategy, and tactics. In this short presentation, I will present the important characteristics of the battle of Uhud: the date, the armies, the war, and finally the lessons.

The Muslim Law of War and Peace

November 2016

John Kelsay

As any survey of Islamic history will show, Muslims spoke about the rights and wrongs of employing armed force in a variety of ways. This presentation deals with one of these. The work of jurists in developing judgments pertaining to armed struggle provides one of the most extensive examples of the more general attempt by human communities to regulate the use of lethal force. In its form and ... [Show full abstract] substance, this aspect of Muslim tradition invites comparison with Christian notions about just war, as well as with a number of other religious and moral traditions. I begin with some general remarks regarding such traditions, then take up a number of questions related to the historic role of right authority in the Muslim law of war and peace. I then turn to contemporary jihadist rhetoric, suggesting that its focus on fighting as an individual duty points to a crisis of authority. I conclude with reflections on the responsibilities of scholars working in a troubled time.

Encyclopedia of Jihad

January 2001

The Western powers are the chief targets of a global Islamic jihad. Once believed to be a relic of history, the notion of Islamic jihad regained a political role in the 1980s. There are multiple meanings of the term jihad. While “great jihad” implies peaceful activity “small jihad” denotes the use of violence. There has never been a war in which Christians and Muslims have participated where the ... [Show full abstract] latter has not appealed to the slogan of holy war. The failure of Iran’s “white revolution” in 1979 set the stage for development of violent strategies against the West. The Chechen conflict is an isolated instance of separatism rather than a part of a “world Jihad”, as the Russian political establishment maintains.

Islamic Revivalism in Minangkabau at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century

May 1974 · Modern Asian Studies

Christine Dobbin

The revivalist movements which developed in so many Muslim communities at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries are well known to students of Islamic history. The Fulani jihād of Usuman dan Fodio, the Sanūsīyah movement in Libya, the rise of the Wahhābīs in Arabia, the reforms instituted among the Volga Tatars, the Mujāhidīn movement in Northern India and the ... [Show full abstract] Fara'idis of Bengal have all been the subject of study to a greater or lesser extent. Scholars have pointed out that movements which aimed initially at internal reform in a particular Muslim community often developed the added dimension of attack on what was conceived as an external, generally foreign, threat to that community, this being most clearly the case with the Wahhābīs and the Mujāhidīn. A contemporary movement which has features in common with all those mentioned above, that of the Padisr among the Minangkabau of West Sumatra, has on the contrary received scant scholarly attention. This is all the more surprising since a European state—the Kingdom of the Netherlands—became involved in a war with the Minangkabau while the Padri movement was still in its full vigour; but although Dutch records and memoirs deal more than amply with this war, they have remained ignored for what they can tell us about the Padris themselves. This is not to deny that scholars who have attempted a brief characterization of the Padri movement have recognized that its complexity goes beyond the mere epithet ‘Islamic revivalism’, and the more perceptive have tried to link it to certain changes taking place within Minangkabau society, depicting the movement as ‘a social revolution’, ‘a coup d'étai’ or, by implication, as a revolt of the intellectuals. In the later stages of the movement, after European intervention had gathered momentum, a French scholar has characterized the war fought by the Padris as a ‘war of independence’.

KONSEP JIHAD DALAM PERSPEKTIF ISLAM

March 2012

It was a fatal mistake when terrorism equated with the doctrine of jihad in Islam. Terrorism in Arabic word termed as al-Irhab is not taught in the Qur’an. Even in Surah al-Anfal: 60 wrote the word “turhibûna”, but it can’t be used as the argument that terrorism is taught Islam. The word “turhibûna” here is more to frighten the enemy on the battlefield. By studying the turats and contemporary ... [Show full abstract] books, this simple paper triesto explore some of the misunderstandings about jihad. Then, those errors will be corrected by refering to the original opinion of the Muslim scholars, which in this paper refered to Ibn Qayyim al-Jawzi’s opinions. The results of the study showed that this misunderstanding lied on the meaning and concept of jihad. As understood by some people that jihad is a war in the path of Allah (fi sabilillah) only. In fact, the realm of jihadis very wide. Ibn Qayyim explained that jihad consists of 13 levels. These levels can be reduced to four parts, which one of them is fighting the infidels. Jihad against the infidels is not using the weapons. There are several steps that must be passed, so that jihad to infidels can be done. Of this division is also seen that the jihad war is not the onlysolution used by Islam in upholding Allah’s name (kalimatullah). So, this paper is expected to be able to describe the jihad in Islam based on the Qur’an and Prophetic traditions.
