"Besides the Hidāyah, Indian views about jurisprudence were summed up in the Fatāwā-e-‘Ālamgīrī.... Among other matters it also deals with jihad in Kitāb al-siyār. It defines jihad as ‘calling towards the true faith and fighting that person who does not accept it, or rebels against it or disobeys it (tamurrad), by wealth or life’. However, aggressive jihad is only allowed if Muslims are expected to gain power and glory but not otherwise."
