1. Military jihad was forbidden — the jihad in the Makkan era was the jihad of the nafs [109] and soul: be patient, and "don't worry, Allah will take care of those who mock you" [see Quran, 15:95]. "Your job is only to deliver [the message], judgment is for Us" [Quran, 13:40]. This first stage lasted all 13 years of Makkah.
2. Permission is given for military jihad, but it's not made obligatory [see Quran, 22:39]. So in the beginning, jihad was on a volunteer basis. This was immediately after the Hijrah.
