    Yeah, the English phrase would be like “following God’s light”

    Anyone living life by their book can be considered a jihadist, though in Islam it’s reserved for monotheists

      Jihad is defined as “a struggle or fight against the enemies of islam.”

      A jihadist is defined as “a person who advocates or takes part in a jihad.”

      Im not sure why you’re trying to muddy the waters here.

      Unless youre trying insinuate that every muslim living by their books creed is meant to engage the enemies of islam, which is another problematic stance.
