A. G. Noorani’s Islam and Jihad: Prejudice versus Reality (Global Issues series, 2002) examines the concept of jihad in Islamic thought and contrasts it with how the term has been misrepresented in political and media discourse. Noorani, a noted constitutional expert and writer, explores historical, theological, and contemporary perspectives, aiming to dispel misconceptions and highlight the distinction between spiritual striving and militant interpretations.
