Q
What are the different intentions people might have when engaging in battle, and how are they viewed in Islam?
A
A bedouin asked the Prophet, “A man may fight for the sake of booty, and another may fight so that
he may be mentioned by the people, and a third may fight to show his position (i.e. bravery); which of
these regarded as fighting in Allah’s Cause?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “He who fights so that Allah’s Word
(i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.”
