Summary Is Islam truly responsible for terrorism or is it the historical Islamic jurisprudence tailored by humans to fit political systems? Will eradicating extremist Islamic movements suffice in combating terrorism? Are wars and armed forces sufficient to eliminate terrorism, or does it have roots in the fundamental books of jurisprudence? This book sheds light on various meanings of concepts mentioned in the Quran, whose incorrect interpretation has led to a noticeable deviation from the message intended to be a mercy to the worlds, such as jihad, combat, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and loyalty and disavowal. This effort may contribute to drying up the sources of terrorism and addresses this phenomenon intellectually instead of addressing it temporarily. Dr. Mohammad Shahrour is a Syrian researcher and thinker with a Ph.D. in civil engineering. He began studying the Quran in 1970. His publications with Dar Al Saqi include "The Book and the Quran", "Religion and Authority", "Women's Jurisprudence", "A Contemporary Reading Guide to the Wise Revelation", and "Islam and Humanity".
