The rise and fall of aṣabiyyah
“Wars and different kinds of fighting have always occurred in the world since Allah created it. The origin of war is the desire of certain human beings to take revenge on others. Each side is supported by the people sharing its group feeling. When they have sufficiently excited each other for the purpose and the two sides confront each other, one seeking revenge and the other trying to defend itself, there is war. It is something natural among human beings. No nation and no generation is free from it.” – Muḥammad ibn Khaldūn, Muqaddimah.
