Fariq Naik – The Medias Propaganda against Islam especially Reference to Jihaad

How do these misconceptions arise in the minds of non Muslims?

Today, in the international media, there is virulent propaganda about

Islam, the media, it is bombarding misinformation about Islam,

whether it be the international news channels, whether it be the

radio broadcast stations, whether it be the television channels,

whether it be the newspapers, there is virulent propaganda about

Islam in the international media. So based upon how the media

portrays Islam is misconceptions that arise in the mind of non

Muslims. And the order of this misconceptions. These

misconceptions it changes depending upon how the media it

portrays Islam, as that is virulent propaganda about Islam in

the international media, the media is maligning Islam. As far as

today's talk is concern. Time does not permit me to discuss all the

20 most common questions or misconceptions that are there in

the minds of non Muslims. Due to time limitation, I will only

discuss the first eight from among the 20 most common questions asked

by non Muslims regarding Islam. For the remaining most common

questions, you can go on the website Zakir Naik, dotnet. The

first most common question asked by non Muslims are misconception

that is in the minds of non Muslims. The top of the charts, it

is regarding the word jihad. Many people including many Muslims or

non Muslims think jihad is any war fought by any Muslim whether it be

for any reason, whether it be for land, whether it be for language,

whether it be for power, whether it be for money, Jihad does not

mean any war fought by any Muslim, whether it be for land, whether it

be for language, whether it be for power, whether it be for money.

Jihad basically means to strive, it means to struggle, and an

Islamic context. Jihad also means to strive and struggle against

oppression. Jihad also means to strive and struggle against one's

own evil inclination. 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, it means to struggle. For example, if a

student is striving and struggling to pass an examination in Arabic,

you would say that he's doing jihad. And many people have a

misconception that Jihad can only be done by Muslims. There are no

less than two different verses in the Glorious Quran which talk

about Jihad being done by non Muslims. Allah subhanaw taala says

in the Glorious Quran, and Sunnah Look, man, chapter number 31 was

Psalm 14, what was finally inside of you validation. And you have

enjoined upon man to be kind to spare since his mother bought him

at travail upon travail, and his weaning is in two years. The next

was of Serato Lachman, chap number 31 was 15 Allah subhanaw taala

says that in the parents they do jihad, strive and struggle to make

you worship Allah, Allah subhanaw taala to be them, but live with

them with love and compassion. And

Allah subhanaw taala also repeats a similar message in Switzerland

Kabu chapter number 29 was Psalm eight. But if the parents they do

jihad strive and struggle to make your worship others besides Allah

subhanaw taala then do not obey them, but yet live with them with

love and compassion. So your Allah subhanaw taala is talking about

non Muslim parents who are doing jihad striving and struggling to

make their children worship others besides Allah subhanaw taala this

type of jihad, it is jihad feasterville shaytaan jihad in the

way or the path of the Satan, what we Muslim should do is jihad

feasable Allah, jihad in the way of Allah subhanaw taala. But

normally when the term jihad is used, it is taken for granted that

it is jihad visa vie the law unless specified. So Jihad

basically means to strive and to struggle, for example, striving

and struggle against one's own evil inclination, striving and

struggling against oppression. One type of jihad is Qatar, that is

fighting in the way of Allah subhanaw taala. But Jihad does not

basically mean a war. Jihad basically means to strive, it

means to struggle. Many non Muslims, including many so called

Muslim scholars, inverted commas, they translate this word jihad as

holy war.

Nowhere is this word holy word present in the Glorious Quran, or

in the authentic a hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, may

peace and blessings be upon him. This word holy war in Arabic, it

is hard to

know where is this word?

present in the Glorious Quran, or in any authentic hadith of our

beloved Prophet Muhammad? May peace and blessings be upon him.

This word holy war it was full

used to describe the Christian Crusaders, the Crusades, who

spread Christianity at the point of the assault.

So Jihad does not basically mean a war. Jihad basically means to

strive and struggle.

And if we look at the lifestyle of our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace

be upon him the first 13 years of prophethood. During the Meccan

period, there were several verses that were revealed, which talk

about jihad.

But there was no war that took place at that time and this was

revealed.

And Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran in surah Blanca

Bucha app number 29 was Psalm 69 While lady Nyjah hadoo fina letter

Vietnam, Cebu Lana, we're in Hola, hola man, Maxine, and those who

strive in our way we shall surely open up their pathways. But this

was was revealed there was no war that took place at the time. Allah

subhanaw taala also says the glorious transporter for Khan

chapter 25 was supposed to fall out McAfee Rena wotja He don't be

Jihad Kabira then do not follow the unbelievers. But strive with

them strenuously against the Glorious Quran. Do you mean to say

you're going to find it the Quran but natural No. And when this was

was revealed, there was no war that took place. What does it

mean? It means that you have to strive and struggle to convey the

message of Islam to the non Muslims to those who are unaware

of it. Therefore, previously this misconception regarding jihad, it

was not at the top of the charts. So depending upon how the media,

it portrays Islam, these misconceptions arise in the minds

of non Muslims. And one verse of the Glorious Quran is sufficient

to prove that Islam was not spread by the sword. Allah subhanaw taala

says in the Glorious Quran so to mind that chapter five verse

number 32. Man, enough some divine enough's officer I didn't feel

forgotten Nana patella NASA Jamia that if anyone kills any human

being, unless it be for murder, offers printing corruption in the

line, it is as if he has killed the whole of humanity, woman

and message me and if anyone sees any single human being, it is as

if we are saved the whole of humanity. Killing any innocent

human being is prohibited. It is against the teachings of the

Glorious Quran, it is against the teachings of Islam. So Jihad

basically means to strive it means to struggle depending upon how the

media portrays Islam. These misconceptions arise in the minds

of the non Muslims. Unfortunately we Muslims, we are very backward

as far as using media for that less concern. We should use media

to convey the message of Islam in a professional manner.
