Abstract

The main theme of my article is to describe the concept of  patriotism(الوطنیۃ) in the light of Quran and Sunnah. Patriotism is the expression of nation-ness that can emerge in various contexts, mostly imperial ones. Nation-ness is a narrative quality of identification connected to the use of the homeland. Patriotism, devotion to one's own country and concern for its defence. Frequently compared or contrasted with nationalism. The Holy Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, has mandated that ‘Love of your country (patriotism) is a part of your faith’. Islam is a universal religion without territorial bounds and this teaching has profound wisdom and logic. The guidelines for obedience to authority and nation are clearly stated in the Holy Quran and elucidated by the Prophet. Commandments in this regard are very practical and rational and aim to cut at the root of all kinds of rebellion and anarchy. Islamic teachings are inherently universal and their underlying philosophy completely endorses this concept and allows Muslims to lead their lives peacefully.
