An Analytical Study of the Prophetic and Alawi Lifestyles in Military Confrontation with the People of the Book

Dealing with the people of the Book who believe their religion, Islam, has a true origin and root, requires attention to the finesse in confrontations that help preserve the reverence of the religion of the people of the Book and appropriately confront with their invasions in the event of conspiracy. Using a descriptive-analytical method, the paper examines the prophetic and Alawi lifestyles in dealing with the people of the Book, and by studying the military aspect of confrontation, it has come to the conclusion that the reactions of the Prophet of Islam and Imam Ali to this group were always aimed at preserving Islam and never meant to destroy them. Hence, they mainly focused on morality, wisdom and Shariah in all their approaches, methods and tools. In addition to peacefulness, features such as vision, awareness, perpetual readiness, power and appropriate reaction to invasions are the most visible important features in their lifestyles.
