How did those who knew Muhammad understand jihad?

Subsequent to Muhammad’s death, the leaders of Islam swiftly prevailed over major cities and territories, including the following:4

• Damascus, Syria (634–635)

• Antioch, Syria (636)

• Ctesiphon, capital of the Persian Empire (637), near which Baghdad was founded (762)

• Jerusalem, Israel (638)

• Alexandria, Egypt (641)

• Hamadan, final conquest of the Persian Empire (642)

• Cyprus (649)

By 650, Muslims, once a small minority within the Arabian Peninsula, had reached the Atlantic Ocean and were setting their sights on Europe. The territories of the southern Caucasus—Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan—were also in the hands of Muslim rulers.
