Fariq Naik – Meaning of Jihaad

			The first number one misconception
the top of the charts is regarding
		

			the word jihad. Jihad is not only
misunderstood by many of the non
		

			Muslims, but it is even
misunderstood by many of the
		

			Muslims, non Muslims, as well as
many of the Muslims. They believe
		

			that jihad is any war fought by
any Muslim, whether it be for any
		

			reason, whether it be for land,
but before language, whether it be
		

			for color, whether it be for race,
Jihad does not mean any war fought
		

			by any Muslim, whether it be for
land, whether it be for language,
		

			but before color. Jihad comes from
the Arabic word shahada, which
		

			means to strive, which means to
struggle,
		

			and an Islamic terminology, Jihad
means to strive and struggle
		

			against one's own evil
inclination.
		

			Jihad also means to strive and
struggle, where there's
		

			oppression. Jihad also means to
strive and struggle and self
		

			defense.
		

			Jihad also means to strive and
struggle in the battlefield.
		

			So Jihad basically means to strive
to struggle
