BEN ve “ÖTEKİ” KUR’ÂN’IN “ÖTEKİ” İLE İLİŞKİLERDE ÖNGÖRDÜĞÜ DENGELİ BARIŞ TEORİSİ

Abstract

The theory of the Quran regarding international relations based on various verses of the Quran relevant to some missions of the Prophet in conveying the message of Allah as well as other verses relevant to no occasion has been differently perceived by both Muslims and non-Muslims. The majority of Muslim jurists of early period up until the middle ages who mainly based their theories on war conditions interpreting those verses of the Quran enjoining war maintained a theory favoring clash. As one may see in the latest discourses of the present Pope, Benedictus the XVI., westerners have an image in general that Islam has spread through sword. However, some earlier jurists as well as some contemporary Muslim writers, who feel like the defeated subjects of a land, put forward a passive peace strategy in the name of Islam. Whereas the Quran, when it is read in its totality, maintains a balanced peace strategy considering man, society, and the universe in terms of the values of creation. The present paper deals with these various views regarding peace and it underlines the approach of the Quran.
