Nowadays, the term of jihad is often misunderstood and misused, especially by militant Moslems translating it as a fight against unbelievers in order to destroy them or to convert them to Islam. As a result, in the time of Muhammad, It was applied as a hard effort to establish Islamic values in society, not as a fight against the “enemy” of God or the holy war as it is being widely understood today.indWith permission of the license/copyright holderJihadmisunderstoodHoly WarMeaningCultural ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsSecularisation and ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsJournal volume
