“Jihad” — as defined by the true Islam of Prophet Muhammad and the Koran — means a struggle for self-reformation, education, and protection of universal religious freedom.

From 656 to 750 Muslims fought three dynastic-religious civil wars, which led to the emergence of a formal ideology of jihad, appearing first in a treatise on the subject in the late 8th century.
