Coles A Critical Exposition of the Popular 'Jihad' at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The book provides a critical examination of the popular interpretation of jihad, particularly focusing on its misapplication and the misconceptions that arose due to political and cultural factors. Ali challenges the idea that jihad is primarily about violent warfare or religious extremism, which had become prevalent at the time, especially in the context of colonialism and the political struggles in the Muslim world.In his exposition, Ali delves into the historical and theological roots of the concept of jihad, emphasizing that it originally referred to a personal, spiritual struggle or striving for self-improvement and righteousness. He critiques the way jihad had been distorted by various political and military leaders to justify violence and warfare, asserting that such interpretations were not in line with the core principles of Islam. Ali's analysis was particularly timely, as it came during a period of growing Western influence in the Muslim world and at a time when the notion of jihad was being manipulated for nationalistic and ideological purposes.
