Description
This book offers a careful look at jihad in Islamic teaching, written by three respected scholars who know this subject deeply. Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, Professor Ibrahim Kalin, and Professor Mohammad Hashim Kamali examine what jihad truly means and how it has been used—and misused—throughout history and today. They separate the real Islamic teaching from the false claims people make in jihad’s name.
The authors walk through the sources of Islamic law and practice to show what jihad actually allows and what it forbids. They discuss the spiritual struggle within the self, the rules of war that Islam sets, and how Muslims have understood these ideas across different times and places. The book is honest about hard questions and doesn’t hide from the confusion that exists in our time.
If you want to understand jihad as Islam teaches it, not as media headlines describe it, this book gives you the knowledge from scholars who have studied Islamic tradition for years. It helps you see the difference between Islamic teaching and the misuse of jihad by those who twist it for their own purposes.
