Abstract:

This study is concerned about the impact of the Marawi siege towards the private teachers of Ibn Siena Integrated School Foundation with a 50 selected private teachers as respondents of the study. This study was conducted in Ibn Siena Integrated School Foundation, one of the private schools in Marawi city. Thus, it explored other factors that the study could be related such as Jihad, the root cause of the problem such as its establishment, its expansion, its leaders, leadership and governance, ideology and goals. Philippines’ Maute Group and Abu Sayyaf Group was also tackled in this study. Other competent and related facts that can supplement the study were also included. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: 1. What are the socio-demographic profile of the respondents in terms of: Age, Sex, Civil Status, Ethnic Affiliation, Educational Attainment, and Monthly Income. 2. What is the impact of the crisis to the respondents that Marawi Siege has caused? 3. What are the possible implications that can be drawn from the study? The descriptive research design was applied in the study to obtain the level of perception of the respondents. A purposive sampling method was used to select fifty (50) respondents. Data gathering involved mainly the use of a self-constructed survey questionnaire in collection of the data and gathering information. The statistical tools that were used in the study to analyze and interpret the data were frequency and percentage distribution. Later on these data accumulated were tabulated and interpreted with utmost care. Based on the findings of the study, majority 23 or 46% of the respondents belonged to age group 20 – 24 years old, 25 or 50% of the respondents were single, 50 or 100% of the respondents were Meranaw, 37 or 74% of the respondents were of college graduate and 36 or 72% of the respondents earns P 11,000 – P 20,000. The study shows that there were different opinions and sentiments coming from the respondents with regards to the Impact of Marawi Siege among them. Majority of the respondents agreed that jihad is a kind of worship which is mandatory among all Muslims. They also agreed that terrorism and extremism is what had caused the fall of Marawi and not Jihad. It was also found out that majority 50 or 100% of the respondents agreed that the main purpose of Jihad is to remove aggression, injustice and to defend the right of people, homeland and religion Islam. Hence, study implies that majority of the respondents had perceived the situation in Marawi city as an effect of terrorism that hides in the cloak of Jihad and that the respondents suffered psychologically due to alteration of point of view but not to the extent that their emotional and their spiritual obligations have been totally extinguished and neglected. The study also implies the heroic actions of the respondents in spite of the situation that they have faced in the performance of their duty. Salutations to all teachers. The paper recommended that everyone should have adequate awareness in the different viewpoints of Islam in Jihad because Jihad was not the reason of prompting such act that had caused the fall of Marawi City. It is also recommended that the Ulama or scholars should strive more in educating and nourishing the intellectual minds of the future Ummah by means of seminars and other Islamic events. In that way, people will understand the real concept of Islam especially the Jihad because it is not the Muslims who are at stake but rather it is Islam. Muslim is a man, therefore is bound to the commitment of error. Islam on the other hand is not and is perfect in every way. Neither man nor a Muslim should do anything that will degrade the impeccable Islam
