APPLICATION OF ISLAMIC VALUES IN THE MILITARY: A LITERATURE REVIEW

The military is a crucial element necessary for ensuring national security and global stability. Military affairs, from an Islamic perspective, comprise various pertinent dimensions however, there are limited in-depth studies on this subject. This study aimed to analyse literature relevant to the application of Islamic values related to the roles, strategies, and leadership aspects in the Islamic military, focusing on discussions related to military jurisprudence (fiqh) and its practical implementation. This qualitative study adopted document analysis and observation methods for data collection, and found that the military concept in Islam emphasizes principles such as defending the religion of Allah, combating oppression and upholding justice. The Islamic military system is reinforced with a comprehensive structure that includes leadership hierarchies, infantry, warfare strategies and intelligence operations. Islamic scholars have also addressed issues such as the role of women, military training, war strategies and military leadership. This study hopes to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the military institution based on Islamic values andserve as animportant source of reference for enhancing societal comprehension of military strategies and principles rooted in Syariah.
