description Infliction of a war is often followed by an ethical question whether it is just or unjust. A war can only be justified if it has enough just causes. This study aims to investigate the Islamic justifications of war through analyzing firstly the Qur’anic directives of war; secondly, the background of the wars that were fought by Muhammad (s.a.w.) as well as his companions.
