Summary: "A Critical Exposition of the Popular 'Jihád'" by Cherágh Ali is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. This book aims to clarify misconceptions surrounding the concept of Jihad in Islam, particularly addressing the notion that the wars waged by Mohammad were acts of aggression rather than defense. The author contends that these conflicts were necessary responses to persecution and that Islam does not endorse compulsory conversion or aggression against non-believers. The opening of the book lays the groundwork for a critical examination of commonly held beliefs regarding Jihad, asserting that Mohammad's warfare was fundamentally defensive. Cherágh Ali discusses the historical context of the early struggles of Muslims, notably the persecution faced by Mohammad and his followers from the Koreish tribe in Mecca. He argues that the battles, including those at Badr and Ohad, were initiated by the Koreish and hence considered acts of self-defense rather than a quest for conquest or conversion. This argument is presented in light of interpretations of relevant Koranic verses, as the author seeks to reconcile Islamic principles with the historical events associated with Mohammad’s leadership.
