Jihad as Obligation (Fard): Difference between revisions

{{Quote|Encyclopaedia of Islam Online|The duty of the jihad exists as long as the universal domination of Islam has not been attained. Peace with non-Muslim nations is, therefore, a provisional state of affairs only; the chance of circumstances alone can justify it temporarily. Furthermore there can be no question of genuine peace treaties with these nations; only truces, whose duration ought not, in principle, to exceed ten years, are authorized. But even such truces are precarious, inasmuch as they can, before they expire, be repudiated unilaterally should it appear more profitable for Islam to resume the conflict.<ref>[http://www.brill.nl/publications/online-resources/encyclopaedia-islam-online "Encyclopaedia of Islam Online"].
