Moulavi Gerágh Ali A Critical Exposition of the Popular 'Jihád'…

Sale translates Jihádan as meaning "to fight in the defence of my religion." Rodwell ... "To fight on my path." Palmer ... "Fighting strenuously." The translators quoted above say that Hátib had informed the Meccans of an intended surprise of Mecca on the part of Mohammad with the view of making terms for his own family, which had been left there. On this occasion the passage was revealed. This shows that the campaign of Mecca is termed Jihád.
