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
