Abstract: Peace Enforcement from the perspective of political jurisprudence is achieved by all legitimate and available means, gradually from peaceful means such as calm dialogue, good argument, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and passing through truce, appeasement, treaty, reconciliation, litigation, abandonment, and peacemaking, which is known in the books of biography and Islamic politics, and ending with fighting if all of that is of no use, and there is no alternative to achieving security and imposing peace by force. Accordingly, for people to enjoy and feel safe about their religion, lives, properties, and homes, the last resort is cauterization. So, war is to prevent war by removing the rotten place from the healthy body and cutting off the affected and rotting part of the body. This research deals with the reality of Islamic wars; their legitimacy, motives, goals, ethics that regulate their course from beginning to end, and their adhered principles, while using inductive and analytical methods. This paper has concluded that Islam is the religion of mercy, security, peace, and goodness. Islam came to guide all people, rescue them from the mire of evil, and elevate them to the ranks of humanity that always strives for success, tolerance, and cooperation in goodness and righteousness. Humanity with its way towards advancement to make people happy with the guidance of Islam, and spread security and peace, may be forced to fight battles, and be pushed into the fighting. Eventually, the wars of Muslims are not swords to shed blood and tear apart limbs, but rather they are Jihād (struggle) for the sake of preserving peace, construction, and development and preventing corruption in all its forms.
