4843 The men of faith and loyalty are eager and anxious to get a command to serve the Cause even if it be at the sacrifice
of their lives. Not so the Hypocrites, "those in whose hearts is a disease". They are mortally afraid as mentioned
below. (47.20)
4844 Cf. iii. 7, and n. 347. The defence of truth and righteousness at all sacrifice, when a definite and categorical command
issues from the ruler of an Islamic state is a fundamental condition of enlistment in the cause of Allah. It is true that
Punishment and Judgment belong to Allah alone; but our mettle and fidelity have to be tested, (see verse 4 above),
and Allah uses human agency in human affairs. (47.20)
4845 Cf. ii. 10. The disease is hypocrisy, disloyalty to the Cause, want of courage and of the spirit of self-sacrifice, want of
true understanding. (47.20)

Islamic Terms Dictionary
Jihad
means to strive. This can be any kind of striving in the way of God which involves either spiritual or personal effort,
material resources, or arms. Jihad is also used to refer to a war waged by the Muslims for the defence or
advancement of Islam; it's interests and ideals.
World of Islam
What does Islam say about war?
Like Christianity, Islam permits fighting in self-defence, in defence of religion, or on the part of those who have been
expelled forcibly from their homes. It lays down strict rules of combat which include prohibitions against harming
civilians and against destroying crops, trees and livestock. As Muslims see it, injustice would be triumphant in the
world if good men were not prepared to risk their lives in a righteous cause. The Quran says:
'Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors.'
(2.190)
'If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in God for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things.'
(8.61)
War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law. The term jihad
literally means 'struggle', and Muslims believe that there are two kinds of jihad. The other jihad is the inner struggle
which everyone wages against egotistic desires, for the sake of attaining inner peace.
