Original sentence: Aĥmed Raza rejected the rebellion (jihad) against the British occupation of India since in his view, British India was not Dar al Harb (an abode of war), and refused to cooperate with fellow Indian Hindus and other Muslims who used various other means of protest against the British Empire.He held the view that the real Khilafah had ended with the first four caliphs (Khulafa al-Rashidun) and protested the ban imposed by Sultan Abd Al-Hamid II against discussions on this subject.He objected to collaboration with Hindus in preference to collaboration with 'People of the Book', the British.He rejected the spiritual jurisdiction of the Ottoman Khilafah based on one opinion that the caliph must be from Quraysh, the tribe of the Prophet to which the Ottomans did not belong.His stance was based on the principal that one must not cooperate with people of innovation in doctrine ahl ul bid'ah or the Hindu idolaters and thus in his view disobey the Shariah for political gain
Edited sentence: Aĥmed Raza rejected the jihad against the British occupation of India since in his view, British India was not Dar al Herb (an abode of war), and refused to cooperate with Hindus and other Muslims who used various other means of protest against the British Empire which were against the Shariah in his view.He held the view that the real Khilafah had ended with the first four caliphs (Khulafa al-Rashidun) and protested the ban imposed by Sultan Abd Al-Hamid II against discussions on this subject, which was entirely in accordance with Sunni traditional thought.He objected to collaboration with Hindus in preference to collaboration with 'People of the Book', the British, based on sound Islamic legal edicts of the past.He rejected the spiritual jurisdiction of the Ottoman Khilafah based on the accepted classical Sunni position that the caliph must be from Quraysh, the tribe of the Prophet to which the Ottomans did not belong.His stance was based on the principal that one must not cooperate with people of innovation in doctrine ahl ul bid'ah and thus disobey the Shariah for political gain
