A Critical Exposition of the Popular 'Jihád'/Appendix A/23

[Sidenote: (11) A'l Amràn, III, 136.]


 * 23. "Do ye think that ye could enter Paradise without God taking knowledge of those among you who (Jáhadoo) have toiled and of those who steadfastly endured."

The Rev. Mr. Rodwell translates Jáhadoo, "did valiantly," and does not agree with Sale and Palmer, who translate it, "fought strenuously," or "fought well."

By the connection of enduring patiently, the word Jáhadoo probably means those who toiled and suffered in their exile from Mecca.
