It interprets "[Muslims (of the right-thinking kind) constitute a Revolutionary Party whose objective] is to expend all the powers of body and soul, your life and goods in the fi ght against the evil forces of the world, not that having annihilated them you should step into their shoes, but in order that evil and con- tumacy should be wiped out and God’s law should be enforced in the world." in the context of "quoted in Asma Afsaruddin - Striving in the Path of God_ Jihad and Martyrdom in Islamic Thought-Oxford University Press (2013) 209-11 (Maududi , S.
