The Saudi Hilali-Khan / Dar-us-salam English translation of the Koran justifies resorting to jihad “with full force of numbers and weaponry” to propagate Islam
Source: The Noble Qur’an
English translation: Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan
Publisher: Maktaba Dar-us-salam
The following explanation of jihad was added to clarify the meaning of verse 2:190:
(V. 2:190) Al-Jihad (Islamic Holy War) in Allah’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars (on which it stands). By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior, […] and His Religion (Islam) is propagated. By abandoning Jihad (may Allah protect us from that) Islam is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his inner-most heart wish to fulfill this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.
