"The areas Islam has conquered or where it held sway over tribute paying non-Muslims were conceived as a single political unit: dar al-Islam, the "House of Islam," or the realm of peace. It would be governed by the caliphate, an institution defined by rightful succession of the earthly political authority that the Prophet had exercised. The lands beyond were dar al-harb, the realm of war; Islam's mission was to incorporate these regions into its own world order and thereby bring universal peace."

Henry Kissinger, World Order, Penguin Books, Pgs 101-102.

"The dar al-Islam, in theory, was in a state of war with the dar al-harb, because the ultimate objective of Islam was the whole world." Kissinger, p. 102
