الدعاية والحرب النفسية في الاستراتيجية العسكرية النبوية

Propaganda and Psychological Warfare in the Prophetic Military Strategy

Abstract

All gratitude belongs to Allah, the Sustainer of the universe, the Ever-Merciful, the All-Compassionate, the Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. May blessings and peace be upon the final Prophet and Messenger, and upon all who followed his path with righteousness until the Day of Resurrection—those who delivered the trust, upheld the message, and supported it sincerely. Peace also be upon his household and his virtuous companions who offered true counsel to the Ummah and departed leaving it upon a manifest and illuminated way, whose darkness is no different from its light. They exerted themselves for the sake of Allah with complete devotion until death reached them, becoming a model for everyone who shoulders the honorable mission of inviting to Allah from among this nation— a nation distinguished above all others, brought forth for humanity by its Lord to promote goodness, prevent wrongdoing, and summon people to Islam with clarity and wisdom until the end of time.

In this research entitled “Propaganda and Psychological Warfare in the Prophetic Military Strategy,” it is explained that propaganda and psychological and mental tactics are not merely media tools; rather, they are effective weapons in the field of psychological and mental warfare, used by the enemy to instill fear, disturbance, and exaggeration in the minds of individuals and societies, with the aim of influencing their behavior and changing their attitudes in a way that serves the enemy’s objectives, purposes, and ambitions.
