Mohamed El-Bachiri is a Muslim. He lost his wife Loubna in the Brussels bombing of March 2016 – a young woman murdered by a fanatical jihadist. Mohamed was left to bring up their three sons on his own.

Instead of hating or collapsing into grief, he put together a short book of reflections on love, loss and the ways in which we can live together despite differences of religion and ideology.

It is a plea for tolerance and compassion, a rejection of fanaticism, and it is a heartbreaking book. Mohamed El-Bachiri shows how an argument for treating each other with kindness and respect can survive even the most brutal atrocity.

For him, Islam should be a struggle for love, and the struggle for love should involve us all.

classical Arabic, the word jihad means ‘struggle’. The jihad has been used to motivate troops, to wage war. That happened in the name of God, and in the eyes of a believer there can be no better reason than that. But originally, jihad means ‘struggle’. That is the main definition: the struggle against yourself, against your passions, your urges.
