Summary of Sunni concepts
Islam and international relations
Islam has its main basis in international relations between Muslims and others
It makes boycott and rivalry specific to the state of hostility and aggression
But when that doesn't happen
So righteousness is for those who deserve it
Justice and fairness in dealing is the established order
God Almighty said
God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion
They did not expel you from your homes so that you would treat them kindly and be just
God loves those who are just
God only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion
And they expelled you from your homes, and they supported your expulsion so that you would support them
And whoever befriends them, those are the wrongdoers
Islam is a system that aims to mislead the entire world under its shadow
And he evaluates his method
He brings together people under his banner as brothers who know each other and love each other
God Almighty said
It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all other religions, even if the polytheists hate it
International Islamic law does not prevent peace with others
As long as they do not face his call
Rather, it makes peace the basis for that
You may not return it except in one of the following cases
The occurrence of a military attack and the necessity of its response
For fear of betraying the institutes and violating his covenant
Then his covenant will be returned to him and he will know about it
It turns to hostility and war
Someone forcefully stands in the way of the freedom to call people to Islam
Which is the true religion of God
Who should rule on earth
So that all religion is for God
Whoever prevents this is aggressing to God’s method
His aggression must be repulsed and fought
The issue is between Muslims and those who oppose them
It is an issue of faith and nothing else
There is no dispute over worldly interests
There is no jihad against fanaticism of race, land, or clan
Jihad is prescribed so that the word of God may be supreme
The law of Islam is the method applied in life
Islam does not force anyone to embrace it after it has made clear to them the truth
As God Almighty said
There is no compulsion in religion, since righteousness has been distinguished from error
Freedom of belief is therefore guaranteed to everyone
Their reckoning is with God Almighty
But this is conditional on the violator of the religion of Islam paying a tax
He should not display his polytheistic belief in public and call for it
Because that is in line with the call to monotheism
This is a departure from God’s method that Islam does not accept or allow
As God Almighty said
And fight all polytheists as they fight all of you
There is no doubt that this is conditional on the strength and resistance of Muslims
As for their weakness
What is prescribed is patience, education, and preparation for empowerment
