Islamic Military Doctrine refers to the principles and strategies derived from Islamic teachings regarding warfare and military conduct. It emphasizes the importance of justice, ethics, and the protection of non-combatants, aligning with the broader moral framework of Sharia law. The doctrine is often informed by historical texts, including the Quran and the Hadith, which provide guidelines on the conduct of war. This doctrine also addresses the concept of Jihad, which can encompass both spiritual and physical struggles. In a military context, it advocates for defensive warfare and the necessity of intention, ensuring that actions taken in conflict are aimed at restoring peace and justice rather than mere conquest.
