"Thus while he began the Islamization of Pakistan in earnest, Zia al-Haq took time to write what, at first sight, might seem an extraordinary endorsement of The Qurâanic Concept of War (1979), by Brigadier S.K. Malik... It is constantly quoted and referred to by modern jihÄdists. However, given the Presidentâs Islamization programme for Pakistan and the fact that jihÄd is the quintessential Islamic duty, Zai al-Haqâs stamp of approval of Brigadier Malikâs treatise makes perfect sense... Brigadier Malik makes it clear that jihÄd is essential for the spread of Islam, and it is a duty incumbent on all Muslims until Islam covers the whole surface of the earth."
