It is often framed within the context of responding to aggression or persecution against Muslims. Additionally, it requires the declaration by a legitimate authority and must adhere to ethical guidelines, such as avoiding harm to non-combatants.

Are the meanings of jihad and crusade the same today as they were prior in the 11th century?
The meanings of jihad and crusade have evolved significantly since the 11th century. In the 11th century, jihad primarily referred to a struggle or effort in the name of Islam, which could be spiritual, moral, or military, while crusades were military campaigns initiated by Christians to reclaim the Holy Land. Today, jihad is often associated with a broader range of meanings, including personal spiritual struggle, and can sometimes be co-opted for militant agendas. Similarly, the term crusade has taken on a more metaphorical meaning, often used to describe any vigorous campaign for a cause, losing much of its original religious and military connotation.

Why is jihad more important to men than women?
Answer 1It is not true. Jihad is important for both men and women. There are two types of Jihad. Self Jihad that means struggling to obey God commands and striving to get His satisfaction and blessings. The other type of Jihad is military Jihad that is in the early centuries was only withing men and supported by women for medical service and other social requirements.Answer 2When most Non-Muslims refer to Jihad, they are talking about the Lesser Jihad, which is to say military action on behalf of the Umma or Islamic Nation. The reason that women do not actively participate in this more violent form of Jihad is simply cultural misogyny that is dominant in most Muslim-majority countries and most Islamic communities. There have been increasing pushes towards gender equality, however, in acts of violent Jihad. For example, about 5% of Palestinian suicide bombers in the Second Intifada were women. However, in more traditional paramilitaries like ISIL, the cultural view of male superiority is more difficult to overcome than suicide bombing where it is clear that a woman can confer strategic advantages (such as hiding a bomb as a "pregnancy bump").
