The term  Jihad has frequently been misinterpreted and misused in contemporary discourse, resulting in its wrongful association with acts of terrorism.  This distortion has allowed opportunistic groups to exploit  Jihad  as a justification for secessionist movements, liberation struggles, resistance wars, 

and even personal or communal conflicts. Tragically, some individuals and groups have committed heinous acts, including the killing of innocent civilians,  under the guise of Jihad—actions that are unequivocally prohibited in Islam.Against this backdrop, Islam and its followers have often been unfairly blamed 

for acts of terror. Muslims in non-Muslim majority societies have faced hatred, discrimination, and, at times, retaliatory violence. Meanwhile, the ongoing  atrocities and brutalities committed by Israeli Defense Forces against Palestinians and Lebanese civilians have further exacerbated global tensions. 

In recent past, some global powers have invaded weaker Muslim-majority states under the pretext of combating terrorism, paradoxically leading to a broader  spread of violence instead of its elimination.At times, the teachings of Islam, a religion rooted in peace, are distorted and weaponized by opportunists, 

branding Islam as a religion of terrorism. In truth, Islam unequivocally prohibits forced conversions, the killing of innocents, suicide, and all forms of  atrocity. The stigma associating Muslims with terrorism is therefore deeply unjustified. The Prophet Muhammad (S.), universally regarded as a role model, 

never perpetrated, endorsed, or condoned terrorism. Instead, he eradicated terror in the Arabian Peninsula through peaceful means, guided by the teachings  of the Qur’an. His leadership established a society in which individuals were granted complete freedom to choose their faith.
