The word ‘Jihad’ in Islam has taken an important role in our present life. There have been many publications written on this subject every year.

Alwaie Magazine: Prominent Headlines for Issue 425

Muslims are living in desperate circumstances under rulers who went far beyond in their dealings with the Western disbelievers, who betrayed Allah (swt), His Messenger (saw) and His Deen to their core and bartered away the issues of the Ummah. We see that the idea of change has ripened amongst the Ummah, which has become its general demand and hope. The Ummah has tried various attempts to change these circumstances to transform the Ummah into a strong and noble state.

We are writing this subject since we see the need of many of the sons of this Ummah to understand this subject, as not every Muslim can arrive at the rank of ijthihad in the Knowledge of Shariah and thus he must imitate those who do. He is in need of imitation (Taqleed) to know the commands and prohibition of his Lord (swt), abiding by His Deen in deeds, words and in all of his life.
