			And the most misunderstood word regarding Islam, it
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21 
			is the word Jihad.
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24 
			It is not only misunderstood by the Muslims,

			because of the media, it's also misunderstood by
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28 
			the non-Muslims.
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 
			Today, most of the people, whether they are
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33 
			Muslims or non-Muslims, they think that any
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 
			for land, any war fought by any Muslim
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45 
			is called as Jihad.
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 
			Jihad does not mean any war fought by
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51 
			any Muslim for any reason.
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55 
			Jihad comes from the Arabic word Jahada, which
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 
			means to strive, which means to struggle.
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02 
			In the Islamic context, Jihad means to strive
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 
			and struggle against one's own evil inclination.
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09 
			Jihad also means to strive and struggle to
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10 
			make the society better.
