#ur#o$e of /iha"
1n A.1B1, *llah declares t2o purposes of Jihad to test the ,uslims, separating belie"ers from hypocrites, and destroy disbelie"ers. 1n 9.AA he declared another purpose to ma4e his 2ord superiorF so that 1slam 2ill dominate the 2orld. There is a fourth purpose, 2hich ,uslims do not 2ant you to 4no2 about. 1t is not explicitly declared in the canonical texts, but it is exposed to those 2ho 4no2 2here to loo4 for clues. $ne crucial hadith has been bo2dleriCed from the on line "ersion of -han's translation of ?ahih &u4hari. *isha &e2ley did not bo2dleriCed it, but does not pro"ide named anchors so 1 can not lin4 directly to it,. 1t is mentioned from 1bn '(mar from the Prophet, may *llah bless him and grant him peace, D,y pro"ision has been placed under the shado2 of my spear, and abasement and humility ha"e been placed on the one 2ho disobeys my command.D Aha#ter 61( Book of /iha"

*l>?ayir The 1nstitutes, the ninth boo4 of the second "olume of +edayam lays out the la2s of Jihad according to the +anifi school of 1slamc la2. 3hile liars assert that 1slam forbids attac4ing innocent people and fights exclusi"ely in self defense, +edaya sets the record straight not belie"ing in *llah is an e"il 2hich must be extirpated by death or con"erion to 1slam. 1nfidels may be attac4ed 2ithout pro"ocation. 3ar must be carried on by some party of the ,uslims at all times. 1f Jihad is neglected in any year 2hen it is possible, all 2ho 4no2 of the obligation are in sin. The 2ido2s, orphans and property of infidels are plunder for ,uslims, but they 2ant us to belie"e that Jihad is purely for *llah's good pleasure in ma4ing 1slam rule the 2orld. JiCya is a species of punishment for infidelityF a payment in lieu of destruction . Pagan *rabs are not eligible for JiCya, they must be con"erted or 4illed. htt#:55&&&(ar)hi!e(org5$tream5he"ay$orgui"e--hamigoog<#age5n1935mo"e51u#
