Striving in the Path of God: Jihad and Martyrdom in Islamic Thought
Afsaruddin, Asma (Professor and Chair, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, Professor and Chair, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, Indiana University-Bloomington)
Jihad is often assumed to refer to armed combat and Muslim martyrdom is understood to be invariably of the military kind. By canvassing a more diverse range of texts - Qur'an, tafsir, hadith, edifying and hortatory literature -- this book recuperates a more nuanced and multifaceted understanding of both jihad and martyrdom through time.
