Abstract

The findings show that the students’ view on Jihad is not merely identical to fighting
but also the application of Jihad, which varies. It has a wide spectrum as long as its purpose and
still in the religious morality frame. Spreading Rahmatan (affection) concept and The word jihad,
which mentioned in the Qur'an about 35 times, including its derivations, has often been
understood only at the scriptural level, detached from its contexts. As a result, jihad has been
assumed to be a specific act of violence, such as terrorism and radicalism. This article aims to
explain the concept of jihad in Islam from the perspective of Indonesian Muslim students at
Universitas Islam Negeri Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, Indonesia, and to explore the factors
that influence their understanding of jihad. This study adopts a semantic approach to the teaching
of jihad in the Qur'an, contextualizing it with the current situation. The findings show that the
students' view of jihad is not limited to physical fighting, but also includes a wide range of other
applications, as long as they are motivated by religious morality. The moral and spiritual values
implicit in jihad include spreading the concept of rahmatan (affection) and promoting peace of
life and spiritual values
