“Killing Is Not Jihad”: SRK’s Powerful Message Resurfaces Amid Terror Outrage

As India mourns the tragic loss of lives in the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, a viral video clip of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has resurfaced on social media, drawing widespread attention and praise. In the clip, SRK offers a heartfelt explanation of the true meaning of Jihad in Islam, powerfully distancing the concept from any association with violence.

“Jihad Is About Inner Struggle, Not Violence,” Says Shah Rukh Khan

In the video, Shah Rukh Khan says:

“There is a word in our religion which is misused — Jihad. The thought process of Jihad is exactly the same — to conquer the bad thoughts inside us, to fight for it, that is called Jihad. Outside, killing people on the streets is not called Jihad.”

His words are being seen as a powerful reminder of the spiritual essence of Islam, especially at a time when extremist ideologies continue to distort religious teachings to justify terrorism.
