When Shah Rukh Khan said "Main Muslim hu but hamare mein Jihad ka jyada misuse...", watch video

Published on 02/05/2025 12:39 AM

Following the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, which claimed the lives of innocent civilians and left the nation in grief, an old video of Shah Rukh Khan has resurfaced online. The clip, now going viral, is being widely shared for its powerful message as the country confronts the pain and shock of the violence. In this emotional climate, SRK’s words from years ago are being praised for bringing clarity to a misunderstood concept.

In the throwback video, Shah Rukh Khan says,“Main Islamic religion se belong karta hu. Main Muslim hu, but hamare mein ek word hai uska kaafi zyada misuse hota hai, wo hai Jihad. Jihad ka bhi thought process bilkul yahi hai – ki hamare andar jo buri soch hai usko conquer karein, usse ladhein. Usko Jihad kehte hain.”

He goes on to emphasize that harming others is not what the religion teaches.“Bahar sadkon pe logon ko maarne ko Jihad nahi kehte,” he adds, drawing a clear line between personal inner struggle and the violent distortion of the term by extremist ideologies.

The actor’s message, originally part of an old interview, is being viewed in a new light today as people seek voices of reason and unity. His calm and thoughtful explanation stands in contrast to the hate-fueled narratives often seen during such times. The resurfacing of this clip has led to many lauding Khan for his clarity, responsibility, and courage in using his platform wisely.

The video also echoes Islamic teachings, which define Jihad as a spiritual struggle—a fight against one’s ego, anger, jealousy, and evil intent. It’s a call for self-improvement and compassion, not violence.“Jihad ka matlab hai apne andar ke bure khayalon se ladna. Jihad ek personal, spiritual fight hai apne aap ko behtar banane ke liye,” is the sentiment Khan expresses.

As the nation mourns those lost in the Pahalgam attack, SRK’s words offer a much-needed reminder of what true religious values stand for: peace, introspection, and unity.
