It means, literally, "thouse who fight a jihad."Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Mujahideen The term gained common usage during the conflict between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan in the late 1970s and early 1980s and was used to refer to the Afghani fighters. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the term has been used by numerous terrorist groups and organizations.Britannica Online Encyclopedia: Mujahideen
