Extremist Islamic groups that propagate hate against other faiths have spread across the world in the past few decades, claiming to be waging a war-like quest for truth in the name of the Holy Quran, engaging in violence that causes death and destruction to innocent people the world over. Jihad, Peace, and Inter-Community Relations in Islam is a translation of the key writings of noted Islamic scholar, Maulana Khan. Originally written in Urdu, these essays explore the issues of jihad, peace and relations between Muslims and other communities from an Islamic perspective.
