Jihad: What Everyone Needs to Know is a book by American Islamic studies scholar and author Asma Afsaruddin.[2] It was published in 2022 by Oxford University Press and is part of its What Everyone Needs to Know series.[1] The book studies the concept of jihad, contrasting popular, often violent representations of the term with its broader meaning within Islamic tradition. Afsaruddin delves into the scriptural, theological, moral, ethical, legal, and socio-political dimensions of jihad, offering readers a historically grounded understanding of its significance. In 2024, a Polish version was published by Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN.[3]
