Islamic military jurisprudence refers to what has been accepted in Sharia (Islamic law) and Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) by Ulama (Islamic scholars) as the correct Islamic manner, expected to be obeyed by Muslims, in times of war. Some scholars and Muslim religious figures describe armed struggle based on Islamic principles as the Lesser jihad.

The first military rulings were formulated during the first century after Muhammad established an Islamic state in Medina. These rulings evolved in accordance with the interpretations of the Qur'an (the Islamic Holy scriptures) and Hadith (the recorded traditions, actions (behaviors), sayings and consents of Muhammad). The key themes in these rulings were the justness of war (Harb), and the injunction to jihad. The rulings do not cover feuds and armed conflicts in general.
Jihad (Arabic for "struggle") was given a military dimension after the oppressive practices of the Meccan Quraish against Muslims. It was interpreted as the struggle in God's cause to be conducted by the Muslim community. Injunctions relating to jihad have been characterized as individual as well as collective duties of the Muslim community. Hence, the nature of attack is important in the interpretation—if the Muslim community as a whole is attacked jihad becomes incumbent on all Muslims. Jihad is differentiated further in respect to the requirements within Muslim-governed lands (Dar al-Islam) and non-Muslim lands, both friendly and hostile.
According to Shaheen Sardar Ali and Javaid Rehman, both professors of law, the Islamic military jurisprudence are in line with rules of modern international law. They point to the dual commitment of Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states (representing most of the Muslim world) to Islamic law and the United Nations Charter, as evidence of compatibility of both legal systems.

The Rashidun army (جيش الراشدين) was the core of the Rashidun Caliphate's armed forces during the early Muslim conquests in the 7th century. The army is reported to have maintained a high level of discipline, strategic prowess and organization, granting them successive victories in their various campaigns. In its time, the Rashidun army was a very powerful and effective force. The three most successful generals of the army were Khalid ibn al-Walid, who conquered Persian Mesopotamia and the Roman Levant, Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, who also conquered parts of the Roman Levant, and Amr ibn al-As, who conquered Roman Egypt.
Un attentat-suicide est un type d'attaque violente dont la réalisation implique la mort intentionnelle de son auteur. Il est le plus souvent organisé par des groupes paramilitaires ou des individus comme une tactique du terrorisme, propre à la guerre psychologique. Les termes de « bombe humaine » ou « kamikaze » sont également usités. Utilisées par les kamikazes comme technique de combat par l'armée japonaise durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les attaques suicides, selon Robert A.
Les Banu Qurayza (arabe : ar, banū Qurayẓa ; quelquefois transcrit : "Banu Quraydhah") étaient une tribu juive de Médine. Ils participèrent à la bataille de la Tranchée contre les troupes de Mahomet. Les Banu Qurayza furent vaincus par les premiers musulmans après cette bataille, dans le Dhul Qa‘dah en février et mars 627 (5 AH). Ces deux épisodes sont connus à travers les sources musulmanes uniquement ; selon ces sources, les Banu Qurayza auraient été vaincus parce qu'ils avaient violé la Charte de Médine et parce que leur allié médinois, le chef des Banu Aws, les a trahis.
