\Je*had"\, n. [Ar. jih[=a]d.] (Moham.)
A religious war against infidels or Mohammedan heretics;

[Their] courage in war . . . had not, like that of the
Mohammedan dervishes of the Sudan, or of Mohammedans
anywhere engaged in a jehad, a religious motive and the
promise of future bliss behind it. --James Bryce.
