Ghulam Sarwar, the director of the Muslim Educational Trust, describes jihad in consistent terms. In a book distributed to Muslim schools in Britain, Sarwar describes jihad as ‘the use of all our energies and resources to establish the Islamic system of life, in order to gain Allah’s favour’.102 Ibrahim Hewitt, the chairman of Interpal, the Palestinian Relief and Development Fund, and former MCB assistant secretary general concurs. He writes,

Of all the precepts of Islam, it is perhaps Jihad that is most often misquoted, misused and misunderstood. The word itself means ‘to strive or struggle in the way of Allah’, not the more popular but incorrect usage, ‘holy war’ … Of course, a ‘struggle in the way of Allah’ may mean warfare, but any personal or communal struggle to establish an Islamic lifestyle is Jihad.103
