- Islam no where dictates the need for any arbitrary division of geographical
- entities.
-
- Muslims may, however, need geographical entities to preserve their political
- interests.
-
- Thus one demarcation is recognized; dar-ul-harb and dar-ul-islam.
- Dar-ul-harb, entities with which Muslims are in a state of war or
- with which they have treaties.
-
- Dar-ul-islam, entities where Islam prevails.
