Editing Divisions of the world in Islam (section)

===Dar al-'Ahd===
'''Dar al-'Ahd''' ({{langx|ar|دار العهد|links=no}} "house of truce") or '''dar al-[[Sulh]]''' ({{langx|ar|دار الصلح|links=no}} "house of conciliation/treaty") were terms used for territories that have a treaty of non-aggression or peace with Muslims.<ref name="oxfordislamicstudies.com"/> Such a division was recognized by [[Shafi'i]] jurists.{{sfn|Khadduri|1966|p=12–13}} But [[Hanafi]] jurists argued that if a territory concluded a peace treaty with dar al-Islam, dar al-Islam was obligated to protect this territory and its people, hence the territory effectively became dar al-Islam.{{sfn|Khadduri|1966|p=12–13}} Thus, Hanafis did not recognize this division.{{sfn|Khadduri|1966|p=12–13}}

This designation can be found in the Quran, where Muslims are directed on how they should act in war:

{{blockquote|Excepting those who join a people between whom and you there is a treaty, or such as come to you with hearts reluctant to fight you, or to fight their own people. Had Allah wished, He would have imposed them upon you, and then they would have surely fought you. So if they keep out of your way and do not fight you, and offer you peace, then Allah does not allow you any course [of action] against them.|[https://quran.com/4/90 Quran 4:90]}}
