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