Jihad : A Comparison of the views of Ashmawy and Taha

Jihad is a religious responsibility every Muslim has . It is said to be the most sensitive word in their vocabulary , which pertains to the most emotionally understood concept when discussed within them . Even though they are all under the same religion , which is Islam , they sometimes differ in their interpretations regarding the execution of jihad even though they use the same definition of Jihad . In the case of Ashmawy and Taha , both

The second caliph Umar even hesitated to do the invasive act but due to the desire of protecting the Islamic community he was obliged to do

In to strengthen his concept , Ashmawy presented conflicting ideas regarding the s to the Prophet . The revelation of the Hadith mentioned about the statement made by the Prophet : I came to you with slaughter ' was another consideration , which made the distortion of the true meaning of Jihad . The writings in Sura (2 : 190 ) said about , as mentioned on the previous paragraph , that the Messenger was ed to resist revenge . These conflicting ideas arose because of the misinterpretation made by the extremists . Even so , the...
