Jihad is holy fighting in Allahs Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allahs Word is made superior, and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. source: Sahih al-Bukharis Hadith
In verse 9:5 (the verse of the sword = ayat saif) Allah tells the Muslims that after the four sacred months (Rajab, Zulqad, ZulHajj, Muharram) have passed, slay (fight and kill) the pagans wherever they are found. Ibn Kathir writes that this means, the earth in general. That means this verse is not meant only for the Meccans pagans; it is applicable all around the globe, even today. This verse alone abrogates (cancels) about 124 verses that espouse mercy, tolerance and forgiveness to the pagans.
