00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			The next question
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			My name is Raj, what is the
meaning of jihad?
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			Many people, they have a
misconception and they think that
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			jihad is any war fought by any
Muslim, whether it be for any
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			reason, whether it be for land,
whether it be for wealth, whether
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25
			it be for race, Jihad does not
mean any war for any Muslim,
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			whether it be for land, whether it
be for wealth, whether it be for
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			race, jihad is derived from the
Arabic word shahada, which means
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			to strive, which means to
struggle. Jihad also means to
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:40
			strive and struggle against one's
own evil and coalition. Jihad also
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44
			means to strive and struggle to
make the society better. Jihad
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			also means to strive and struggle
in self defense in the
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			battlefield. So Jihad basically
means to strive to struggle.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			For example, if a student is
striving and struggling to pass an
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			examination in Arabic, we would
say that he's doing jihad.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			Many people have a misconception
that Jihad can only be done by
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11
			Muslims. This misconception can
easily be removed just by quoting
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			to verse of the Glorious Quran.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:18
			Allah subhanaw taala season so
Look, man, chap, number one was
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			from 14 What was sinal insanity
Valley day And We have enjoined
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			upon man kindness to his parents.
And if the parents did do jihad,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			strive and struggle to make you
worship others besides Allah
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:35
			subhanaw taala then do not obey
them, but yet, live with them with
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			love and compassion. Allah
subhanaw taala clearly says in so
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:44
			Look, man, chapter 31 was from 14
and 15, that if the parents did do
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			jihad, strive and struggle to make
you worship others besides Allah
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:52
			subhanaw taala than to not obey
them. Now this type of jihad is
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			jihad visability shaped on a
similar was in the Glorious Quran
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			ministered on Kabu chapter 29
Verse 28,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:05
			that if the parents did do jihad,
strive and struggle to make you
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08
			worship others besides Allah
subhanaw taala than to not obey
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:08
			them.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			So here the Glorious Quran is
talking about non Muslim parents
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			doing jihad, striving and
struggling to make their children
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			worship others besides Allah
subhanaw taala this type of jihad
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:26
			is jihad visability shaytaan jihad
in the part of the Satan, what we
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			Muslim should do is jihad visa vie
de la, jihad in the way of Allah
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			subhanaw taala.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:38
			But normally, when the term jihad
is used, it is taken for granted
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			that Jihad feasable Allah, the
term jihad is used, if it is you
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			separately or individually, it is
taken for granted that it is jihad
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			visa vie de la
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			Sol Jihad basically means to
strive for striking.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			One type of Jihadist Qatar that is
fighting in the way of Allah
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			subhanaw taala. But Jihad does not
basically mean a war.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			And if you look at the lifestyle
of our beloved Prophet Muhammad,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:10
			peace be upon him. The first 13
years of Prophethood there were
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			several verses that will reveal
talking about jihad, but the
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			Prophet peace be upon he never
fought physically fighting. It was
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			later on when the Prophet peace be
upon him went to Medina de de was
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			to place and Allah subhanaw taala
says in the Glorious Quran, in
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:28
			Surah and Kabul chapter 29 verse
Psalm 69, one lady in a jar who
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			fina Lana Deanna homeschool Anna
and those who strive and are we
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			shall surely open up their
pathways. When this was was
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			revealed, there was no war,
physical war that took place
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:46
			and one was of the Glorious Quran
is sufficient to prove that
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:50
			killing any innocent human being
is as if you have killed the whole
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:50
			of humanity.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			Allah subhanaw taala says in the
Glorious Quran surah Majda chapter
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			number five was tempted to man
cartella and FCMB lady neffs our
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:06
			facade in fill our fucka Anna
malerkotla NASA Jamia woman, yeah,
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:11
			forget anima NASA Jamia that if
anyone kills any human being,
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			unless it be for murder, or for
spreading corruption the land it
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			is as if he has killed the whole
of humanity. And if anyone saves
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			any human being, it is as if he
has saved the whole of humanity.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			So killing any innocent human
being is completely prohibited in
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			Islam. And even according to him
at the hobby, he writes in his
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:35
			book, Al Kabyle 70 major sins when
he lists the major sins, and He
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39
			says that murder is the second
major sin in Islam.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			So killing any innocent human
being it is completely prohibited
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			in Islam.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			This misconception regarding the
word jihad previously, it wasn't
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			on the top of the charts.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			But the media depending how the
media it portrays Islam, these
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			myths
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			conceptions arise in the minds of
the non Muslims
