How did Islam change the way of ghazu work'?

Islam significantly transformed the practice of ghazu, or raiding, by introducing ethical guidelines and a focus on justice and community welfare. Under Islamic teachings, raiding was reframed as a means of defending the faith and protecting the Muslim community rather than merely for plunder. The emphasis on treaties, diplomacy, and the protection of non-combatants also helped to regulate conflicts, encouraging more organized and principled conduct in warfare. This shift contributed to the establishment of a more structured approach to military engagements in the early Islamic state.
