Amān and International Humanitarian Law concerning Quarter, Perfidy and Ruses of War: A Comparative Study
Full text linkThere are two aspects of Contemporary International Law (CIL). They are “Jus ad bellum" and "Jus in bello". Jus ad bellum investigates whether a war among nation-states is lawful or unlawful. This aspect of CIL is dealt with by the UN Charter under the title of "Use of Force". The other aspect of CIL is "Jus in bello" which discusses ethics and conduct of war under the name of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). The aforementioned aspects of CIL also exist in Islamic International Law (IIL). The former one is known as Illāt al-Qitāl and the latter as Aāb al-Qitāl. This article investigates a comparative study of IHL with special reference to Quarter, perfidy and ruses of war in the context of Amān. IHL does not focus on the validity or legality of war; it ensures human rights during the war among the Nation States and sets laws to minimize human losses during the war. IHL negates the notion of free-hand in war among the Nation States. It declares all deceiving movement or deceiving measures unlawful such as perfidy. However, it allows ruses during the war. It also awards quarter to belligerents. Likewise, ILL also recognizes protection of belligerents under the name of Amān. Amān is to be awarded by Muslim combatants to alien combatants on or without demand during war. It may be in explicit or implied words. Any indication/gesture that shows protection of the combatants will also be considered Amān. Once Amān is awarded it cannot be terminated to avoid perfidy. IIL prohibits perfidy and allows ruses of war. Therefore, the notion of non-Muslims scholars regarding IIL that it is not compatible with ICL is clearly misinterpretation of IIL.

Full text linkIslam is a full code of conduct that encompasses all aspects of human life. The necessity for marriage is one of several necessities in human life. Because marriage binds a strong link between man and woman, the role of the woman is critical. Then, as they choose to engage in their play activities, they both cope with their confidence. Then they both maintain their trust in one another and defend each other's wealth and honor. The woman takes care of the house and plays an important role in the education and training of the children. Thus, the importance and need of a woman can be gauged from the fact that a man is incomplete without a woman. And the race is also the source of human survival. This research paper, which is drafted with the status and importance of women in mind, is proof that women in Islam have the rights and dignity that are not granted in any other religion. As a result, the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah are compared to different civilizations to define the worth and status of women
