“…Donc, ce que vous voulez comprendre, ce n'est pas ce que la lettre indique, mais bien le contraire. […] (Saʿīd 1997b, 36-7) Il est intéressant d'observer, dans ce long passage, la reprise de certains arguments juridiques classiques concernant la doctrine de « l'abrogeant et l'abrogé » (al-nāsiḫ wa-l-mansūḫ), ou tout simplement « abrogation » (nasḫ), et se ralliant à l'opinion selon laquelle la sunnah du prophète ne peut pas abroger le Coran (Fatoohi 2013) ; ou encore le concept de naṣṣ ṣarīḥ. Cela révèle l'effort de notre auteur pour formuler un discours à partir d'un paradigme juridique très répandu, mais qu'il s'efforce en même temps de renégocier, comme nous le verrons plus loin.…”

This research aims to contribute to the study of the current of non-violence in Islam. A phenomenon often considered extraneous to the heritage of this religion, it nevertheless has several examples of commitment, among whom the Syrian preacher and theologian Ǧawdat Saʿīd (1931-2022) deserves particular attention. Central to our work is a reconstruction of his biographical profile as well as an analysis of the development of his theoretical framework over time. Initially a follower of the salafiyyah and then close to the Islamist movement, Saʿīd played a pioneering role in promoting non-violence as the sole modus operandi of an Islamic activism oriented towards the establishment of global peace and justice. Drawing on a social and anthropocentric reading of the Quran, Saʿīd aims to demonstrate that this is the true meaning of revelation and the purpose of the divine eschatological project.

“…24 British scholar Louay Fatoohi agrees, arguing that an "overwhelming majority" of Muslim scholars reject the abrogation thesis regarding war. 25 Fatoohi highlights the fact that throughout history the Islamic world has never acted in accordance with this extreme view. He observes that Muslims have almost always co-existed very well with other faith communities and that the 1600 million peaceable Muslims in the world today clearly do not accept the view otherwise, if they did, they would all be at war as we speak.…”

Justice, Jihad and Duty: The Quranic Concept of Armed Conflict

The Quran is among the most widely read books on earth, yet it is also commonly misunderstood and misquoted. Islams critics say that it contains exhortations of violence against non-Muslims and a concept of war that is far more unbridled and indiscriminate than the western Just War theory. This study is not a general overview or critique of the Islamic laws of war, which are the varied and sometimes contradictory opinions of medieval Islamic jurists, mainly from the ninth to thirteenth centuries CE. Instead, this study analyses only the Quranic text itself and, by putting its verses into historical context, attempts to explain its codes of conduct in order to determine what it actually requires or permits Muslims to do in terms of the use of military force. It concludes that the Quran is clear: Muslims must not undertake offensive violence and are instructed, if defensive warfare should become unavoidable, always to act within a code of ethical behaviour that is closely similar to the western Just War tradition. This study attempts to dispel any misperceptions that Islams holy book advocates the subjugation or killing of non-Muslims and reveals that, on the contrary, its key and unequivocal concepts governing warfare are based on justice and a profound belief in the sanctity of human life.
