There is an interpration. Jihad means fight for your life. Studying is considered a Jihad because you're building a life. Working is considered Jihad because you're fighting to make a living. A mother raising her child is also considered a Jihad. Jihad in arabic, a liguistic definition, is fighting without arms. It's like saying "I will fight for you" to someone you love. And Quran existed in the era of Prophet Muhammed to guide him through those who tried to kill him. It came in a completely different context. What we should do in our time now is to use it for the good. If we don't understand a verse or a law, assume the good and do it.
