Summary
Fighting or war is often reduced to the Arabic word jihād by both Muslim and non-Muslim authors. Such a conflation, however, elides a broader semantic landscape for the term jihād as indicated in a number of Islamic sources; this landscape is resurrected to a considerable extent in this chapter by consulting a broad range of primary Arabic sources.
