Option b is the correct answer Aurangzeb's interpretation of 'Jihad' refers to the concept of 'Dar-ul-Islam,' which means the "House of Islam" or the territory where Islamic law and governance prevail. Aurangzeb sought to establish and expand the Islamic rule within his empire, enforcing Islamic laws and practices in alignment with his understanding of 'Dar-ul-Islam.' Important Tips Major religious divisions Dar al-Islam: Refers to territories under Muslim sovereignty, where both Muslims and non-Muslims reside. Non-Muslims, known as dhimmis (Zimmis), have partial civil rights and pay the jizya tax. Muslims and non-Muslims enjoy security and are protected from attack. Constitutional charters regulate relations, and non-Muslims have access to Islamic courts if desired. Dar al-'Ahd: Territories with a treaty of non-aggression or peace with Muslims. Hanafi scholars argue that such territories, protected by dar al-Islam, effectively become part of it. Muslims must respect peace treaties and protect these territories and their people. Dar al-harb: Lands without a treaty of non-aggression or peace with Muslims. It refers to a territory that is not ruled by Muslims and where Islamic law is not applied. No clear mention in the Quran or Hadith. The concept emerged historically, driven by events like the Battle of Tours. Under the classical doctrine, Muslim rulers aimed to bring dar al-harb under Islamic sovereignty.
