This article discusses the concept of jihad in a modern context through a review of the book Jihad Perempuan Milenial (Millennial Women’s Jihad), which offers a reinterpretation of the meaning of jihad for women in the millennial era. This study uses a literature review method with Robert N. Entman's framing analysis approach. The results of the study show that jihad is not solely related to violence or war, as it is often misunderstood in the Western world and in religious extremism. Instead, jihad in the modern perspective emphasizes intellectual struggle, social contribution, and the active role of women in building the future generation. The book identifies the problem of reducing the meaning of jihad, diagnoses its causes, directs moral judgment, and offers solutions through women’s empowerment. The book’s author underlines the importance of changing the paradigm of jihad as a peaceful struggle to achieve Allah’s pleasure through knowledge, work, and social dedication. This article concludes that a more contextual and progressive reinterpretation of jihad is key to building a peaceful image of Islam while strengthening the strategic role of women in social transformation.
