Abstract

The rejection of violence in Islam, as a fundamental

principle in Islamic jurisprudence, has a deep connection with human dignity and moral values. This principle, according to the teachings of the Quran and narrations, explicitly emphasizes the sanctity of violence, oppression, and any harsh treatment against humans. The present article examines the concept and origin of the principle of negation of violence in Islam and shows that this principle is considered a necessity in protecting Islam from the accusation of violence and social justice and peace.

Our studies show that although some criminal rulings in Islamic jurisprudence may appear violent, they are capable of revision and adjustment in the context of the principle of negation of violence and by considering human expediency and dignity. This research uses a descriptive-analytical method to explain the jurisprudential and philosophical foundations of the principle of negation of violence and emphasizes the point that any ruling that conflicts with human dignity is ineffective and rejected from an Islamic perspective. .

The results of this study show that the rule of negation of violence not only helps prevent violent behavior, but also fosters the growth of a spirit of coexistence, empathy, and justice in Islamic society. Therefore, the correct use of this rule can be an effective solution to reduce tensions and increase social peace and security.
