** Note 002:273. M Mohammad Ali in his Note 359 made a very significant point that strikes at the very root, and contradicts the Mullah-fabricated concept, of Jihad. He stated as follows.
The Muslim society had “to repel its enemies in the interests of its existence. It show that the Muslims did not fight to bring the disbelievers into the folds of Islam; for that, the Prophet is told in words, was not his responsibility. It was for the good of their people, the defence of the Muslim community that the Muslims were required to raise subscriptions”.
