Shah Rukh Khan explained that the true meaning of *Jihad* is an internal struggle to conquer the evil and bad thoughts within oneself, emphasizing that it is about self-improvement and fighting negativity. He clarified that *Jihad* does not mean killing people on the streets, countering extremist misinterpretations that wrongly associate the term with violence and terror. His remarks serve as a reminder against the distortion of Islamic teachings, promoting compassion and inner struggle instead[1][4][5]. This message resurfaced prominently following a tragic attack in Pahalgam, reinforcing the distinction between faith and acts of terrorism wrongly justified in the name of religion[1].
