Chapter 4: War and Peace in The Middle East (11)

 

097 “Dar Al Islam (House of peace)” and “Dar Al Harb (House of war)” (1/4)

Muslim names their world as "House of Peace (dar al-Islam)" and the rest of the world as "House of War (dar al-Harb)". Islam means to believe Allah and Prophet Muhammad and to send the life according to the doctrine of the Holy Quran. For Muslim, Islamic world is a very peaceful one. And non-Islamic world is the one of war.

 

It is not only Islam but also any other religions that faithful believers would be guaranteed the peaceful utopia. Christianity has the word "millennium kingdom of bliss". For the people who is neither Muslim nor Christian might not qualified to comment these words. But it seems that the meaning of “dar al-Islam” and “millennium kingdom of bliss” is very similar each other. Other monotheism and polytheism seem to have the similar doctrine too. It would be somewhat different from Buddhism in which enlightenment has the highest value.
