Therefore, the Promised Messiah as writes further: Spread the meanings of the Islamic kalimah , give answers to opponents, spread the beauties of the Islamic faith in the world, and manifest the truthful- ness of the Holy Prophet sa to the world. This is jihad , until such a time that God shows another form in the world. ( Ibid. ) It means that this second form of jihad is not forever. The second form means that when the enemy of Islam uses force against religion, you will be given permission for such jihad. But until such a time when this form is clearly needed, there are other forms of striving [ jihad ]. The Promised Messiah as writes: I have come to you with an order: jihad with the sword has ended from this time forward, but the jihad of purifying your souls must continue. I do not say this of my own accord. This is indeed the will of God. Recall the h ad i th from S a h i h al-Bukh a r i which honours the Promised Messiah by saying ya d a-‘ul- h arb. That is to say, when the Messiah comes he will put an end to religious wars. ( Government Angreiz i aur jihad , p. 15) Thus, it is the commandment of the Holy Prophet sa himself.
