A Critical Exposition of the Popular 'Jihád'/Appendix A/25

by Moulavi Gerágh Ali

[Sidenote: (13) The Spoil, VIII, 75.]

25. "But as for those who have believed and fled their country and (Jáhadoo) took pains in the way of God, and have been a refuge or help, these are the faithful, mercy is their due and a noble provision."

Sale ... "Fought."

Rodwell ... "Fought."

Palmer ... "Fought strenuously."

There is nothing in this passage to warrant a departure from the literal and proper signification of the word Jáhadoo, and using it in a post-Koranic sense.
