Concept Of Jihad

Garabet Moumdjian
Garabet Moumdjian

The document discusses the evolution and different interpretations of jihad in Islam. It describes jihad as having both an internal and external component. Internally, it refers to purifying one's soul through practices like prayer and meditation. Externally, it has been interpreted as fighting against the enemies of Islam to expand Muslim rule, or more recently as fighting corrupt leaders and Western forces. The document also outlines the historical spread of jihad from the Arab caliphate to the Ottoman Empire and how America's involvement in the Middle East since the 1990s has contributed to the modern jihadist movement.
