1. mujahedin

   Mujahedin, also spelled as Mujahideen, is an Arabic term that literally means "those who engage in jihad". In a broader context, it usually refers to Islamic guerrilla fighters, especially those who are engaged in resistance against non-Muslim forces or what they perceive as enemies of Islam. The term gained international prominence during the Soviet-Afghan War when groups of Afghan resistance fighters were referred to as Mujahedin. It is important to note that the term may have different connotations and interpretations across various Islamic sects and societies.
