This book explores the dual concepts of peace and Jihãd in Islam, providing insights into how both are integral to Islamic teachings and are often misunderstood.

"Peace & Jihãd in Islam" delves into two crucial yet widely misunderstood aspects of Islamic doctrine: peace and Jihãd. The book offers a balanced and in-depth exploration of how Islam inherently advocates for peace, both at the individual and societal levels, while also addressing the concept of Jihãd, which means "striving in the way of God."

The text clarifies that Jihãd is not synonymous with violent conflict or warfare, but rather refers to a broader spiritual, social, and personal struggle to uphold justice, morality, and faith. The book examines Qur'anic verses and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), illustrating how Jihãd can take on different forms, including self-improvement, defending the oppressed, and promoting peace.

Furthermore, the book highlights historical examples where Jihãd was misinterpreted and misused and contrasts them with the Islamic principles that emphasize peace, dialogue, and conflict resolution. By providing a nuanced understanding of these two vital concepts, the book invites readers to appreciate how Islam promotes global peace while maintaining a framework for justice and ethical conduct.
