Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show «the place of peace in the international relations of the Islamic State». The most logical method is to refer to the Quran. According to the Qur'an, the basis of international relations is peace and peaceful coexistence. The reason is verses of the Quran. Not only from the verses of peace but also from the verses of Jihad. these interpretations and readings are supposed to be inferred. The provisions of the peace verses are: «the necessity of peaceful relations with nonviolent states», «the right to have good and fair relations with non-hostile states», «the prohibition of friendly relations with hostile states» and «the prohibition of aggression to neutral governments and allies in the conflict between Islamic State and hostile states». The verses of jihad are also used in such a way that one cannot fight a government or a group without reason or permission. The reason for the war can be some events like «invading Islamic lands» or «persecuting Muslims and conspiring against their religion and beliefs» or «persecuting and abusing their followers» or «killing and corruption on the earth» by a hostile group or an aggressive government.
