The main aim of this chapter is to provide a reconceptualization of the idea of jihad as a form of nonviolent interfaith solidarity as embodied in the autobiographical accounts of the two authors to highlight how the term jihad can be employed for the purposes of advancing interfaith understanding and practice. The first section explores the central arguments, major points, and justifications for the classical military doctrines of jihad in the context of laws of war (siyar), including theories of jihad that are compatible with international humanitarian law. This is important since the concept of jihad is being primarily debated in this sense. In the second section, alternative reframing of the doctrine of jihad in contemporary literature on Islam in a non-military context is examined. In the third section we introduce the concept of ‘nonviolent interfaith solidarity jihad’. Finally, the autobiographical accounts of our own engagement in nonviolent interfaith solidarity jihad are outlined.
