Prophetic Battles and the Ethics of War
Overview
The entire life of the Messenger of Allah Prophet Muhammad(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is not only a model for us but also a single solutions to the problems of all humanity. Nowadays, efforts are being made at some level to solve various regional and global problems. War and war situations are becoming dangerous every day. Despite the fact that various conventions were held to prevent it at the global level and international organizations came into existence, but despite this, there are a lot of destructive weapons, powerful countries make weak countries a practice for national interests. The blood of humanity is seen everywhere. As a result of the natural freedom given by Allah, humans have always been in two tents. One camp has been of the people of truth and the other has been of falsehood, one group has been of the oppressors and the other has been of the oppressed. As a result, there have always been and will continue to have wars. How can the divine law (Sharia), through which man is fully guided, remain silent in such situations? Therefore, Allah made his last Prophet, Imam al-Anbiya (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ideal in this field as well. The last ten years of the Holy Prophet are full of war activities. But surprisingly, in the revolution that took place through the Messenger of Allah, barely a thousand people were killed on both sides. No human resources were harmed in these wars. Through these wars, the Messenger of Allah has left a model of great morality for mankind. It is necessary to have a lively discussion on this aspect of the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and to present an ideal image of the Messenger of Allah to the world. The study of the Prophet’s Ghazwat (Battle) is very important and necessary for the struggle for the domination of the people of Islam itself. Through this course, an attempt will be made to clarify this aspect of the life of the Messenger of Allah.
