THE REFLECTION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF PEACE IN THE WORKS OF MUHAMMAD SHAIBANI

Abstract

The article talks about the principles aimed at preserving peace in the works of Muhammad Shaibani, a prominent representative of the Hanafi school. Muhammad Shaybani’s works are recognized by Hanafi scholars as authoritative sources of the maddhab. The scholar’s work “al-Siyar al-Kabir” is especially distinguished by its focus on the regulation of international relations between representatives of different religions in war and peace. As you know, Islam is essentially a religion of peace. It calls on people to put all their efforts in the way of ensuring peace and stability, to put an end to various conspiracies and mutual enmity. After all, peace is the basis of Islam. But today, the representatives of the bigoted movements are trying to describe the religion of Islam as a religion of war by misinterpreting the rules of war and peace contained in the verses and hadiths. The article describes the views of scholars of the Hanafi maddhab on the preservation of peace in Islam. Also, the essence of the rules given in the verses and hadiths in matters of war and peace is revealed. In particular, the opinions of Islamic scholars about the essence of the concept of “jihad”, which radical individuals are trying to distort its original meaning, are presented.
