What Is Islamic about a Muslim Soldier’s Actions in Battle? Islamic Manuals of War on Islamic Warfare
Different genres of Islamic literature that deal in part or in whole with war focus on different aspects of warfare. Some emphasize the religious aspect, while others concentrate on the legal aspects. Treatises on warfare or manuals of war, however, typically place all their focus on the pragmatic means of achieving military victory.
