  The idea of jihad is central to Islamic faith and ethics, and yet its meanings have been highly contested over time. As the line drawn between Muslims and non-Muslims becomes more rigid, Ayesha Jalal seeks to retrieve the ethical meanings of this core Islamic principle in South Asian history.

Drawing on historical, legal, and literary sources, Jalal traces the intellectual itinerary of jihad through several centuries and across the Middle East and South Asia. She reveals how key innovations in modern Islamic thought resulted from historical imperatives. The social and political scene in India before, during, and after British colonial rule forms the main backdrop.

Partisans of Allah surveys a rich and tumultuous history and its critical contribution to the intellectual development of the key concept of jihad. Analysing the complex interplay of ethics and politics in Muslim history, the author effectively demonstrates the pre-eminent role of jihad in the Muslim faith today.
