War permitted under doctrine of necessity not general rule in Islam

Abstract

In present situations different concepts about the religion of Islam are floating in the minds of the people. Some hold that the religion of Islam is a religion of wars and terrorism others label Islam with extremism. But in reality, Islam promotes neither terrorism nor encourages extremism. Islam preaches tolerance and moderation. Also Islam forbids killing/bloodshed without valid justification. Therefore this research paper is aimed at providing a clear and true picture picture of “Jihad” which is in consonance with sublime teachings of the Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
