Zakir Naik – Explaining Jihad to USA Emigration and Customs

			And today
		

			the word which is maximum misunderstood in Islam. It is the word jihad.
		

			Not only is there a misconception amongst the non Muslims regarding the word jihad, there is even a
misconception amongst many Muslims regarding the Arabic word jihad.
		

			Many people think that any war fought by any Muslim for any reason, whether it be for power, whether
it be for personal gain, whether it be for money, it is called as jihad. Any war fought by any
Muslim for any reason whether it be for power for personal gain for money is not called as jihad.
Jihad is an Arabic word coming from the word Giada, which means to strive, which means to struggle.
		

			In Islamic context, it means to strive and struggle against one's own evil inclination. It also
means to strive and struggle to make the society better.
		

			It also means to strive and struggle in the battlefield in self defense. It also includes to strive
and struggle against oppression.
		

			That basically means to strive and struggle. If a student is striving and struggling to pass the
examination, it means he's doing jihad.
		

			So Jihad basically means to strive and struggle.
		

			And many of the non Muslims they translate the word jihad into English as holy war, and
unfortunately many so called Muslim scholars and noted commerce, even they translate the others holy
war, holy war in Arabic.
		

			The word if you want to translate holy one data big, it is herbal mocha.
		

			The word herbal mocha DESA does not exist anywhere in the Quran. It does not exist anywhere in any
of the Hadith of the prophets, Allah salah.
		

			This word holy war was first used to describe the Crusaders. When the Crusaders in the name of
Christianity they killed 1000s of people. They termed it as a holy war. And today they're using that
word for the Muslims.
		

			See how the media is for the use of the word fundamentalist for the Christians now they're for the
Muslims, holy word was used for the Christian Crusaders. Now they're the for the Muslims say Jihad
holy war.
		

			They are basically means to strive and struggle, and every Muslim should be a die. And beloved
Prophet said it's a hadith of Bokhari. Bendigo and Nivola Maya propagate, even if you know one
verse, you can't say no, I will wait till I become like Sheikh Hamad, and then start doing Dawa, the
time will never come. Even if you don't want most of Islam. As long as you know it correctly, it's
your duty to propagate it. Every Muslim shouldn't be a dime.
		

			The problem is the aren't following the commandments of Allah subhanho wa Taala that the reason we
are in the state, Allah says he will not help people who will not help themselves.
		

			Who's to blame.
		

			And after 911, it has reached epidemic levels. maligning Islam, and I had gone to USA two years back
		

			in October 2003.
		

			I'd gone to Los Angeles
		

			and I was prepared,
		

			wearing a tie and a coat, beard that goofy, else prepared that I will be questioned. They have to be
prepared. So when I went in immigration, oh, we are kept go for inquiry. I was prepared. They asked
me why have you come here? I said, I'm getting an award award for what I said award for humanity,
the organization in Los Angeles and USA giving me an award for humanity. What work have you done? I

			Do you believe in jihad? I said yes.
		

			Even Jesus Christ will be upon him believing. He said you have to strive. Even I believe in
striving. I believe in what Jesus Christ people said that you have to strive. No, no, I mean, do you
believe in fighting? I said it is mentioned in the Bible.
		

			In the book of Exodus, chapter number 20, do you have to fight? It's mentioned the Bible in the book
of Exodus. Do you have to fight in the book of Numbers step number 31. We have to fight.
		

			Jesus guys peace be upon him says in the Gospel of Luke.
		

			Tip number 22 that take the sword and fight
		

			but then the customer for the being a Christian. That's in self defense. I said that even if I
		

			may go Mister, can I ask you one more question? I said no problem. I just told my host that when I'm
just doing downline delegation don't bother.
		

			I have a die, they should not get scared of truth.
