Almost everyone in the world today has heard the word Jihad, thanks to the media.This word has a very broad meaning and does not mean 'Holy War' as many people believe.

The meaning of the word Jihad is 'Striving'.It applies to any sort of activity made by any person because of love of God.It covers every aspect of a muslim's life. It is Jihad when a muslim is called upon to make an extra effort - for example, to get up before dawn in order to pray, to fast during Ramadan abstaining from all the things which would invalidate the fast.It is jihad when a person helps another, and goes out of their way to be a friend etc (the intention being to please God alone and not for anything else, if it is done with any other motive, it is NOT Jihad).For example, a person can lay down his life for his country without being religious at all - this is NOT Jihad.

It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) said: *"The most excellent jihad is that for the conquest of oneself." The soul is tempted to do certain things which are prohibited(haraam) at times and a person who strives to eradicate such thoughts and seeks refuge with God is doing Jihad by controlling his/her desires.

* Hadith from Bukhari

Well, come August 21st I will be entering seventh grade. My parents recently purchased a couple of seventh grade books for me to study from. The problem is it's a review of seventh grade, so the books uses some terms that I may have heard but don't really fully understand. Are there any good sites that walk you through it step by step? After I've done enough on the site I'll go onto the books.

I would ask my parents for help bur they work--a lot. They want me to be ahead of the game (and so do I), but, like said, they're too busy.

I have been accepted at a private bording school (high school), that is 3 hours away from where i live, It costs 38,000$ to go but i have been offered scholarships on the basis of hockey and acedemics that have drastically reduced the cost. So my parents can afford to send me but i was wondering what other people thought about public schools vs private bording schools?... also i'm only 14 and moving away from home would be a huge step for me... should i do it? If you play on their hockey team almost every player gets a full ride scholarship to an american university(which would get me closer to my dream of playing in the olympics) am i sacraficing too much for my hockey career? .. also are kids at private schools alot smarter than kids at public schools? will the work be harder?
