"With the new millennium (in the Christian calendar’s calculation), Hashem, as the Mahdi of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL), aims to reemphasize a timeless and more internalized view of jihad. [Knowingly, he] separates the types of righteous struggles, outlining a clear distinction between the Greater and the Lesser forms. Importantly, he decontextualizes both original temporal and spatial elements, displacing jihad from the borderline of “dar al-Islam” (house of Islam) and “dar al-harb” (house of war) in preference for a more contemporary, postmodern setting. This displacement, however, does not result in a reductionist or voided understanding, but a realignment with the modern day and age and the crises these contain."
