Use Of Nuclear Weapons In The Light Of Prophetic Principles Of Jihad: Exploratory And Analytical Studies

Abstract

Among the numerous other problems and challenges facing humanity today, nuclear weapons are a great threat, which if not prevented in time, could lead to a terrible human tragedy in the future. And it is a shame for the Western world that they have launched an anti-human and anti-environmental weapon. In this research, I shall introduce nuclear weapons and their dangerous effects on the environment and society. Their different types such as nuclear bomb, hydrogen bomb, their damages and effects and nuclear countries have also been described. Later, various anti-nuclear weapons international organizations have been mentioned. As well as their use from an Islamic perspective and especially in the light of the teachings of the Prophet of Islam, in which he forbade war atrocities like massacre, burning of innocent and unarmed children, women, elderly etc. And all these crimes are committed by using nuclear weapons. The approach is described in which various Quranic verses and hadiths have been included in the light of which some recommendations have been formulated for the United Nations and other international organizations to remedy this contemporary problem.
