The Qur’anic Perspective on Political Boycott of Enemies: An Analytical Study

This study undertakes a thorough analysis of the Qur’anic perspective on the political boycott of enemies, emphasizing its jurisprudential foundation and strategic purpose. It frames boycott as both a religious duty and a tool against hegemonic oppression. The research employs deductive analysis of Qur’anic texts, historical methodology to examine prophetic precedents, and comparative analysis to contrast Qur’anic and secular boycott models.

It investigates the connection between political boycott and the principle of loyalty and disavowal, Qur’anic classifications of enemies, and the legitimacy of boycott as a political stance rooted in scripture. The study highlights its role in reinforcing Islamic identity and political independence, contrasting it with secular models of disengagement.

Findings reveal that the Qur’anic boycott is a proactive measure to protect the Ummah from cultural and political infiltration, promote internal unity, and reject loyalty to hostile powers. It affirms the boycott’s value in supporting liberation efforts and resisting Zionist and Western agendas.

The study recommends the call for embedding boycott culture in the Ummah’s collective mindset, integrating it into policy and grassroots efforts, and enhancing its tools across media, culture, and economics guided by the Qur’anic paradigm as the ultimate reference.
