Tafsir

From Wikipedia: Ghazw or Ghazah (plural ghazawāt) (Arabic: غزو) was originally an Arabic term referring to the battles in which the Islamic prophet Muhammad personally participated.[1] It has since evolved into a term for battle associated with the expansion of Muslim territory. The term ghazi or Warrior for the faith came to represent participants in these later battles[2] and is cognate with the terms ghāziya and maghāzī. In modern Turkish the word means “veteran”.
