The True Islamic Concept of Jihad — Page 2
[ 2 ] H u du r rta said: Allegations of Abrogating Jihad 2 In the booklet, published by the government of Pakistan 3 , one of the many accusations made against the Promised Messiah as is that (God forbid) he was a tree planted by the British—implying that the Ahmadiyyah Muslim Jam a ‘at is an organisation that was established by the British government. I addressed the members of the Jam a ‘at concerning one aspect of this accusation in the preceding sermon. Now I will discuss some other aspects. Along with this allegation, it has been alleged that the Promised Messiah as abrogated jihad. The argument has been made that he was raised by the British government for objectives which included the abrogation of jihad. Since the Promised Messiah as has stated repeatedly in his writings that he is abrogating jihad , it is argued in the White Paper that he stood up as a representative of the British to fulfil their objectives. 2. The literal translation of the Arabic word ‘ jihad ’ is ‘striving’. 3. The reference is to: Qadiyaniyyat—A Grave Threat to Islam , 1984. This document is commonly referred to as the White Paper.
