ISLAMIC MILITARY HISTORY

THE UNITED STATES OF ISLAM ARMY NEEDS TO TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THE TOPKAPI WHICH REVEALS THE ARMAMENTS OF THE PROPHET AND EARLY MUSLIMS. THE IMPLICATIONS ARE NOT JUST THAT BEING PREPARED FOR MILITARY DEFENCE IS A SACRED DUTY BUT FIGHTING JIHAD IS INCUMBENT ON MUSLIMS IN THE FACE OF ENEMY TRANSGRESSIONS. JIHAD IS PRIMARILY UNDERTAKEN TO DEFEND ISLAM AND MUSLIMS.  SO IT IS INTIMATELY CONNECTED TO THE SACRIFICE OF ONE'S LIFE AND CAREER TO UPHOLD THE DIGNITY OF ISLAMIC CIVILISATION. 



THE CONCEPT OF SACRIFICE WHICH IS SO EAGERLY COMMEMORATED AMONGST MUSLIMS DURING THE EID AL ADHA SHOULD NOT BE NARROWLY DEFINED AS ANIMAL SACRIFICE. SACRIFICE SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD AS A TRULY COMPREHENSIVE DAILY LIVING BELIEF AND PRACTICE IN WHICH MUSLIMS ARE READY, PREPARED AND EXECUTING TO SACRIFICE ALL IN THE CAUSE OF ISLAM.       


THIS DOCTRINE SHOULD BE REVIVED IN MADRASSAHS AND MARTIAL ARTS BE INTRODUCED AS PART OF THE HOLISTIC ISLAMIC CURRICULUM. MILITARY SERVICE SHOULD BE INTRODUCED IN ALL MUSLIM COUNTRIES AND DEFENCE POLICIES SHOULD ENSURE THAT MUSLIM ARMIES ARE SELF RELIANT IN THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF THE LATEST ARMS. FURTHERMORE THERE NEEDS TO BE A REVIVAL OF THE  TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF SACRIFICE,  STRUGGLE AND JIHAD IN ISLAM MODELLED ON THE PROPHETS IN ISLAMIC HISTORY.
