Journal Article
Refuting Islamic State (IS) Jihad Propaganda with the Story of Uwais Al-Qarni
2018
Overview
One of the arguments put forth by the so-called Islamic State (IS) to urge Muslim youths to wage jihad and travel to Iraq and Syria centres on the irrelevance of parental consent. IS has interpreted its jihad as fard àyn (personal obligation) whereby Muslim youths do not need to feel guilty about ignoring their parents’ disapproval. This article seeks to refute the above argument using the story of Uwais Al-Qarni who was not able to migrate to Medina and participate in jihad as he was taking care of his aged mother in Yemen. Although this refutation specifically counters IS ideology, it could also be applied to similar religious justifications by other terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda (AQ) and Jemaah Islamiyah (JI).
