The purpose of the proposed paper is to question the division of the world into dār al-islām (land of Islam) and dār al-ḥarb (land of war), which is a classification introduced by Muslim jurisconsults in the early centuries of Islam. However, the precise definition of these categories has been variously interpreted in the course of Muslim history and has produced effects on legal debates, specifically about the relations between Muslims and non-Muslims.
In my paper, I intend to explore the writings of contemporary Muslim thinkers on the issues at stake in the division of the world into land of Islam and land of war, and to analyse the re-reading they offer of these two concepts. Does the modern state render these concepts obsolete? How do Islamic thinkers position themselves on this issue?
Lecture given at the 3rd international congress of the PLURIEL network, from 23 to 27 May 2022 in Beirut.
In partnership with Saint Joseph University of Beirut and La Sagesse University.
La communication proposée a pour objet de s’interroger sur la division du monde en dār al-islām (terre d’islam) et dār al-ḥarb (terre de guerre), qui est une classification introduite par les jurisconsultes musulmans au cours des premiers siècles de l’islam. Cependant la définition précise de ces catégories a été diversement interprétée au cours de l’histoire musulmane et a produit des effets sur les débats juridiques, plus précisément au sujet des relations entre musulmans et non-musulmans.
J’envisage pour ma communication d’interroger les écrits des penseurs musulmans contemporains sur les enjeux de la division du monde en “terre d’islam” et “terre de guerre”, et d’analyser la relecture qu’ils proposent de ces deux concepts. L’État moderne rend-il caduque ces conceptions ? Comment les penseurs se réclamant de l’islam se positionnent-ils sur cette question ?
Conférence donnée lors du 3è congrès international du réseau PLURIEL, du 23 au 27 mai 2022 à Beyrouth.
En partenariat avec l’Université Saint Joseph de Beyrouth et l’Université La Sagesse.
