STRIVING IN THE PATH OF GOD - JIHAD AND MARTYRDOM IN ISLAMIC THOUGHT muslim thought Denys Johnson-Davies is a well-knownIn popular and academic literature, jihad is predominantly assumed to refer exclusively to armed combat, and martyrdom in the Islamic context is understood to be invariably of the military kind.
