Definition: Literally, this means "Abode of Islam." In practice, this refers to any lands ruled by Muslims and governed by Islamic laws. Everything else is known as Dar al-Harb. Traditionally for Muslims, it is important for Dar al-Islam to expand, but a tragedy if Dar al-Harb expands and Dar al-Islam shrinks. This is because true peace and justice can only be achieved in Dar al-Islam.
