Structure Pages

• The verses of fighting and the Muhammadan narratives do not legislate absolute violence
• Terrorism is the product of a rigid historical reading
• Islam is a practical value, not a verbal identity
• Religious and kinship affiliation are measured by action and relationship
• Al-barā’ is a regulated dissociation, not open enmity
• Legislation after the closure becomes ijtihad, while prohibition is a divine right
• Mutual recognition and multiple affiliations create a community without contradiction
• The community is defined by behavior, language, or system
• Jihad, fighting, and martyrdom are distinct concepts
• Sovereignty is a limited right within the forbidden things
• Freedom is the foundation of all aims, and safeguarding it is a social responsibility
• Religion rejects coercion, and the state regulates it through a worldly function
• Historical apostasy mixed the religious with the political, and it has no worldly legal penalty
• The Muhammadan message is a message of mercy and universality
• Narratives justify prior election
• The cause and the purpose in fighting must not be conflated
• The Sunna is understood between revelation and ijtihad
• Action is the basis of destiny, and reports denying it are rejected
• Legitimate fighting is defensive and bound by the aim of freedom
• Fighting in the Qur’an is neither killing nor conquest
• The Salafi reading and closed occultist tendency are an entry point to violence
• The Qur’an is the only revelation and is understood within the fixity of the text and the dynamism of interpretation
• The Book, the decisive, and the prescribed determine the structure of revelation
• The word is sound, while saying and utterance have a broader meaning
• Death and destruction are two different concepts in the cycle of existence
• Utterance determines the instrument of intelligible expression
• The fixed revelation produces fixed rulings and interpretive elaboration
• Loyalty is a plural social choice, not submission to sovereign authority
• The objectives of the Sharia are understood through honor, dignity, and moral breadth
• The objectives of the Sharia are a historical jurisprudential classification open to revision
