Such a dialogue should also reverse the glorification of jihad over its intellectual counterpart, ijtihad. A commitment to ijtihad, which is the struggle to reach new understandings of Islam through reflection on its scriptures, is what made Islam an expansive faith that supported scientific research and intellectual curiosity. It is why the faithful were admonished that “the ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr.”
