A Critical Exposition of the Popular 'Jihád'/Appendix A/26

by Moulavi Gerágh Ali

[Sidenote: (14) The Spoil, VIII, 76.]

26. "And they who have believed and have since fled their country, (Jáhadoo) toiled with you, these also are of you. Those who are united by the ties of blood are the nearest of kin to each other. This is in the Book of God. Verily God knoweth all things."

Sale ... "Fought."

Rodwell ... "Fought."

Palmer ... "Fought strenuously."

There is no valid excuse here for changing the signification of the word Jáhadoo into that which is never used in the Koran or in the classical Arabic.
