Abstract :
AbstractAfter migration to Medina, the prophet of Islam (PBUH), was inevitably forced to have fights with the enemies of Islam, namely, pagans and Jews. According to great Maghazi (Raids) reporters in the Islamic World, the battles that the prophet had to have were for the following reasons: for the breach of promise as in the battle of Banu Qaynuqa in Medina; for the prevention of aggression as in the battle of the Trench; for the retaliation and reciprocation; for the economic blockade imposed, the battle of which is by today’s standards quite legitimate and authorized, as in the battle of Badr; and finally for the prevention of expansion of wars as in the battles against the sporadic raids the Romans had along the borders, and as in the battle of Tabuk. Such battles consisted of ‘Qazvahs’ and ‘Saryehs,’ which were often defensive. . By using a descriptive-analytical method, this study aimed to explore the different approaches and the ways of representation of the Prophet’s battles by the Iranian scholars publishing different books on the history of Islam from 1980 till now. The findings of the study revealed that the Prophet’s battles have been represented by using religious-ideological, chronicling, and descriptive-analytical approaches in such books. . The research results show that all the prophet’s Ghazwas (the battles the prophet was personally all reported from a narrative, descriptive, analytic, religious, and faith perspective.
