Ukuqonda ukuqonda kwamaSulumane kwe- "Jihad"
Eminyakeni yamuva nje, igama elithi jihad seliye lafana emiqondweni eminingi ngohlobo lwenkolo eyeqisayo edala ukwesaba nokusolana. Ngokuvamile kucatshangwa ukuthi lisho "impi engcwele", futhi ikakhulukazi limele imizamo yamaqembu ama-Islamic extremist ngokumelene nabanye. Njengoba ukuqonda kuyindlela engcono kakhulu yokulwa nokwesaba, ake sibheke umlando nencazelo yangempela yegama elithi jihad kumongo wesiko lamaSulumane. Sizobona ukuthi incazelo yamanje ye-jihad iphambene nencazelo yolimi yegama kanye nezinkolelo zamaSulumane amaningi.
Igama elithi Jihad livela egameni lesi-Arabhu elithi JHD, okusho ukuthi "ukulwa". Amanye amagama asuselwe kulo msuka ahlanganisa "umzamo", "umsebenzi" kanye "nokukhathala". Empeleni, iJihad ingumzamo wokwenza inkolo lapho ubhekene nengcindezelo noshushiso. Umzamo ungafika ekulweni nobubi obusenhliziyweni yakho noma ekuvikeleni umashiqela. Umzamo wezempi uhlanganisiwe njengendlela yokukhetha, kodwa amaSulumane abheka lokhu njengesinyathelo sokugcina, futhi akuhlosiwe neze "ukusabalalisa i-Islam ngenkemba," njengoba kushiwo manje.
Izisindo nama-counterweights
Umbhalo ongcwele we-Islam, iKoran, uchaza iJihad njengohlelo lokuhlola nokulinganisa, njengendlela u-Allah ayisungule “ukulawula abantu ngabanye ngomunye”. Uma umuntu noma iqembu leqa imingcele yalo futhi lephula amalungelo abanye, amaSulumane anelungelo kanye nomsebenzi "wokulawula" futhi ababuyisele ku-inthanethi. Kunamavesi amaningi eQur'an achaza iJihad ngale ndlela. Isibonelo:
“Futhi uma uAllah engazange alawule iqembu elithile labantu ngelinye,
ngempela umhlaba ubuyogcwala ububi;
kepha uAllah Ugcwele
ukupha kwawo wonke umhlaba.”—Koran 2:251
Impi kuphela
I-Islam ayilokothi ikubekezelele ubudlova obungaphenduki obuqalwa amaSulumane; eqinisweni, amaKoran ayalwa kuyiKoran ukuba angaqalisi ubutha, enze noma isiphi isenzo sobudlova, aphule amalungelo abanye noma alimaze abangenacala. Akuvunyelwe futhi ukulimaza noma ukucekela phansi izilwane noma izihlahla. Impi iqhutshwa kuphela lapho kudingekile ukuze kuvikelwe umphakathi wenkolo ekucindezelweni nasekushushisweni. IKoran ithi "ukushushiswa kubi kunokubulawa kwabantu abaningi" futhi "akukho ubutha ngaphandle kwalabo abacindezelayo" (Koran 2: 190-193). Ngakho-ke, uma abangewona amaSulumane benokuthula noma bengenandaba ne-Islam, asikho isizathu esizwakalayo sokumemezela impi kubo.
I-Quran ichaza abantu abagunyazwe ukulwa:
“Yibona abaxoshwa ezindlini zabo
bephikisana nomthetho, ngaphandle kwesizathu ngaphandle kokuthi bathi:
"INkosi yethu nguAllah".
UAllah Akazange alawule iqembu labantu ngelinye.
ngabe ngabe zibhidliziwe izindlu zezindela, amasonto,
amasinagoge nezindlu zamaSulumane, lapho igama likaNkulunkulu likhunjulwa khona ngobuningi ... "
Quran 22:40
Qaphela ukuthi leli vesi liyala ngokuqondile ukuvikelwa kwazo zonke izindlu zokukhulekela.
Ekugcineni, i-Quran iphinde ithi: "Makungabi khona ukuphoqelelwa enkolweni" (2: 256). Ukuphoqa umuntu ngenkemba ukuthi akhethe ukufa noma i-Islam kuwumqondo ongaziwa ku-Islam emoyeni nangomkhuba womlando. Asikho nhlobo isibonelo esingokomlando sokulwa "impi engcwele" "yokusabalalisa ukholo" nokuphoqa abantu ukuthi bamukele i-Islam. Ukungqubuzana okunjalo kungaba impi engengcwele ngokumelene nezimiso zamaSulumane njengoba zibekwe kuyi-Qur'an.
Ukusetshenziswa kwegama elithi jihad ngamanye amaqembu anontamolukhuni njengesizathu sokusabalala kobudlova bomhlaba, ngakho-ke, kuwukonakala kwesimiso esiyiqiniso kanye nokwenza kwe-Islam.
