			The first most common question
asked by non Muslims are
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			misconception that is in the minds
of non Muslims. The top of the
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			charts, it is regarding the word
jihad. Many people, including many
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			Muslims, or non Muslims think
jihad is any war fought by any
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			Muslim, whether it be for any
reason, whether it be for land,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			whether it be for language,
whether it be for power, whether
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:27
			it be for money, Jihad does not
mean any war fought by any Muslim,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			whether it be for land, whether it
be for language, whether it be for
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:35
			power, whether it be for money,
jihad, it basically means to
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			strive, it meets the struggle, and
an Islamic context. Jihad also
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			means to strive and struggle
against oppression. Jihad also
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			means to strive and struggle
against one's own evil
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			inclination. Jihad also means to
strive and struggle to make the
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			society better. Jihad also means
to strive and struggle in self
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:00
			defense in the battlefield. So
Jihad basically means to strive,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:05
			it means to struggle. For example,
if a student is striving and
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			struggling to pass an examination
in Arabic, you would say that he's
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			doing jihad
