The phrase ''fi sabilillah'' () is an Arabic expression meaning "in the cause of Allah", or more befittingly, "for the sake of Allah".〔(Lane ), p. 1301, s.v. سبل: "''in the way'' meaning ''cause, of God,'' or ''religion;'' or ''in the doing of anything , '' or ''all, that God has commanded,'' or ''of the works whereby one pursues the way that leads to advancement in the favour of God'' "〕 Alternative spellings for ''fi sabilillah'' include ''fisabilillah'' and ''fisabillillah'' and is defined as, "One who fights for the cause of Allah" or "Jihad in the way of Allah".〔https://books.google.com.au/books?id=UcAcdx1NA34C&pg=PA245&lpg=PA245&dq=%22Fisabillillah%22&source=bl&ots=qjhRN8oqox&sig=DH2jJxxabQYymEXngPz2RDFAcy0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=dAzdVN-dIYPq8gXWo4HYBw&ved=0CCQQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Fisabillillah%22&f=false〕 The phrase is found frequently in the Qur'an, e.g. in surah 9, verse 60: : :"Alms are for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in the cause of Allah; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by Allah, and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom." (trans. Abdullah Yusuf Ali) From the above context it is closely associated with almsgiving or charity, as in , meaning "he dedicated the revenue or profit to be used in the cause of God", i.e. "he gave to charity". A classical example discussed by Lane in his ''Arabic-English Lexicon'' of 1863 is that of Umar who decided to give the revenue of a palm grove of his to charitable use. Because of these connotations, the phrase is closely associated with the concept of zakah in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). The 14th-century manual ''Umdat al-Salik'' associates the phrase with jihad. In Islam, the phrase ''al-jihad fi sabilillah'' is the equivalent of the western notion of ''bellum justum'' or just war.〔 Rudolph Peters, ''Jihad in classical and modern Islam: a reader'' 2005, p. 120.〕 Such a "just war" or "war in the cause of God" has been propagated in modern Islamic fundamentalism beginning in the late 19th century, and notably in the mid-20th century in Islamic revivalism.〔 Rudolph Peters, ''Jihad in classical and modern Islam: a reader'' 2005, p. 107 and note p. 197.〕 ==See also== *Zakat 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fi sabilillah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
