E-ISSN: 2 22 2 -6990 Light of The Values of Islamic Preaching (original) (raw)

Terrorism represents a dangerous contemporary problem deeply rooted in history. Terrorism still forms, today, a great danger to different societies. This terrorism has its causes and the roots that gave rise to it. It has motives that made its protagonists freely allow themselves to do their terrorist actions, regardless of their effects on the lives of individuals and societies; politically, economically, as to security and psychologically. Due to non-Muslims' enmety to Islam, its vocation and its followers, they have been directing accusations of terrorism to Islam and Muslims; as soon as an incident takes place, all people hasten to direct accusations of terrorism against Islam and its mission, as well as Muslims and their faith. From the above discussion, we see the importance of the present research, which has attempted to define the concept of terrorism from the perspective of Islamic vocation and to study its causes and motives and how to face it in the light of the genuine values of Islamic preaching. All these values assert legal values and means and scientific tools(media) that assure for the society a life secure about souls, wealth and honor. The research has resulted in some important results and recommendations , including: asserting that Islamic mission or preaching is not part of the problem of terrorism ; rather it is a forceful basis and an effective tool to remedy its causes and putting an end to it according to the divine criteria through implanting the values of tolerant Islamic preaching. It is far from bigotry {fanaticism} and extremist interpretation that gives texts undue interpretations. Also the philosophy of Islamic vocation aims essentially at building a social structure caring for relating the individual to the society through solidarity, love and belonging in order to keep the stability of the society. Furthermore, terrorism cannot be ascribed only to the religious factor, for there are other factors which may be more important than the religious factor such as poverty, unemployment and misunderstanding the religious calling. Also the research proved that the phenomenon of terrorism is a western phenomenon rather than being related to Islam.
