| Subject: What is Jihad? Thu Jul 23, 2009 7:02 pm | |
| The word "Jihad" means struggle, or to be specific, striving in the cause of God. Any struggle done in day-to-day life to please God can be considered Jihad. One of the highest levels of Jihad is to stand up to a tyrant and speak a word of truth. Control of the self from wrong doings is also a great Jihad. One of the forms of Jihad is to take up arms in defense of Islam or a Muslim country when Islam is attacked. This kind of Jihad has to be declared by the religious leadership or by a Muslim head of state who is following the Quran and Sunnah. | |

With all due respect brother, the Jihad you are reffering to is defensive, so the permission of the leader is not sought as the Sunnah and 'Ijmaa show. Offensive Jihad needs permission from the Muslim leader. Hope you understand. |

| Am i the only one who sees this article as a putting down for jihaad? it's trying to make it sound as if jihaad isn't really fighting, fighting is only something that is allowed in some cases.
That's the feeling i'm getting from it. | |

| I think its because it doesnt mention offensive Jihad to spread the religion. Apart from that it all sounds good. | |
