Concept of Jihad A very great misconception prevails with regard to the duty of Jihad in Islam, and that is that the word jihad is supposed to be synonymous with war; and even the greatest research scholars of Europe have not taken the pains to refer to the Holy Quran to find out the true meaning of the word. So widespread is the misunderstanding that a scholar of the fame of a J Wensinck, when preparing his concordance of Hadith, a Handbook of early Muhammadan traditions, gives not a single reference under the word Jihad, referring the readers to the word war, as if the two words were synonymous terms.
