Divisions of the world in Islam

In Islam, the world is often divided into two main parts: Dar al-Islam (the House of Islam) and Dar al-Harb (the House of War). Dar al-Islam refers to countries or areas where Muslims are a majority and where Islamic law is practiced. In these areas, Muslims have freedom of worship and are able to fully practice their religion without fear of persecution.

On the other hand, Dar al-Harb refers to areas where non-Muslims are in the majority or where Islamic law is not practiced. These areas are seen as being in a state of war or conflict with Islam because they do not adhere to Islamic values and teachings. Muslims are often second-class citizens in these areas and are not able to fully practice their religion without fear of persecution.

It is important to note, however, that this division is not meant to encourage violence or aggression towards non-Muslims. Rather, it is simply a way of categorizing the world based on cultural and religious differences. Muslims are encouraged to live peacefully with their non-Muslim neighbors and to show respect for other religions and beliefs.
