Kital


Kital (Arabic qitāl, literally fighting) - this word comes from the qātal verb meaning the general concept of fighting and fighting others, referring to the pre-Muslim tradition of struggle rooted in the ethics of the Bedouin tribes. In the Koran the kital is understood as an armed struggle. The Qur'an usually appears in a context that clearly indicates that it was the first Muslims, especially the settled Arabs, of a tradition other than the Bedouin nomadic tribes, treated exceptionally reluctantly. Kital, however, is the duty of every Muslim when he is attacked by an external enemy. "Fight on the path of God those who fight you, but do not cross the borders, because God does not like those who cross the borders." The term kital refers to the last of the four principles of proper jihad, which should be guided by heart, tongue, hands and sword. This is a "small" jihad, unlike jihad "big", that is, to make every effort to achieve salvation. The armed struggle in jihad is conducted with unbelievers and hypocrites (munafikun), those who have accepted Islam but still remain unbelievers in their hearts. Qitāl as part of jihad is not directed against Jews and Christians. Bibliography
