| 520 | |a This thesis considers various aspects in early Islam and, where appropriate, compares the techniques, strategies, tactics and attitudes of the of the participants of this period with those of western belligerents of later periods, up to the present day. It aims to show that, in many respects, the early Islamic approach to warfare anticipated that of later prctitioners, and that, as far as the more 'huname' or 'civilised' side of ware is concerned, the philosophy of those inspired by a newly instututed religion might well serve as an example for today. Emphasis is placed upon the faith of the warriors of Islam, since it is regarded as beyond doubt that the majority of them were motivated by a desire to fight in Allah's cause. The relevant injunctions from the Qur'an and the hadith are cited. It is also contended that the early Muslims engaged solely in defensive, rather than offensive, wars, in order both to spread the word of Allah and to protect their own and others' freedom to worshio as they saw fit. | ||
