Three major world views of Islam
Many scholars of Islam traditionally divide the world into three "houses":
Dar al Islam (or "house of peace") where sharia law is in effect.
Dar al Sulh (or "house of treaty") where Islam is not in control, but Islam has working relations with non-Islamic territories.
Dar al harb (or house of war) where islam is not in control and Muslim law is not in effect yet.
The second house, listed "dar al sulh", can be several names depending on the immediate muslim intention for the area; some say that Dar Al-Sulh exists while Islam is attempting to gain sufficient power before fully launching into Dar Al-Harb.
