Reality of Jehad in islam?

Question

Reality of Jehad
One of the biggest misconceptions prevails with the regard to the duty Jihad in Islam. Unfortunately not only European scholars but also some Muslims scholars misuse this term. Actually the word Jihad of Arabic is divied from Jahd which means ability, excretion or power.


Jihad can be undertaken in following kinds:
1) against a visible enemy of Islam
2) against the devil
3) against self.


Discussing the first kind of jihad, jihad against a visible enemy of Islam means a person or more who stand against the preaching of Islam or who tries to hares the all ready Muslim. Such people should be first stopped verbally but if they do not agree then only Islam gives permission of usage of force.
Against the devil means to stop not only others but also ones own self from doing unislamic deeds. While against self is to restrict ones self to the saying of Allah and his prophet Muhammad and as much as possible try to stay away from the materialism.

Saryah Hamzah and Saryah Ubaidah
A brief account of the Holy Prophet's fifty three years life has so far been presented to the readers. It has also been learnt with some details: how Islam was propagated in the world, and how much were dedicated to Islam and the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) those thousands of human beings, belonging to different tribes and classes, who embraced Islam before Hijrat (Migration) and got so much absorbed in it that they never cared for their wealth, their parents and ancestors their wives and children and even their own lives for the sake of Islam and the Holy Prophet. After all, what was the reason behind their acceptance of Islam? Was it the coercion by a Government, of greed for any status, or suppression by the sword of any imperial army? Even a cursory glance at the character and events of the Holy Prophet's life (my parents be sacrificed for him!) evincingly negate all these conjectures.

Human Rights and Justice in Islam
Islam provides many human rights for the individual. The following are some of these human rights that Islam protects.


The life and property of all citizens in an Islamic state are considered sacred, whether a person is Muslim or not. Islam also protects honor. So, in Islam, insulting others or making fun of them is not allowed. The Prophet Muhammad said: {Truly your blood, your property, and your honor are inviolable.}1

Racism is not allowed in Islam, for the Quran speaks of human equality in the following terms:

O mankind, We have created you from a male and a female and have made you into nations and tribes for you to know one another. Truly, the noblest of you with God is the most pious.2 Truly, God is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Quran, 49:13)

Islam rejects certain individuals or nations being favored because of their wealth, power, or race.

JIHAD BIN-MAL
This type of jihad is done by wealth. In this jihad if a person has sufficient wealth and uses it for Islam's propagation and help other fellow Muslims with it is jihad bin-mal.
Significance of jihad through these two ways can be showed by this verse of Koran, which says;
"Ye should believe in Allah and this messenger, and should strive for the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is better for you, if ye did but know."


Also this must be mentioned that a person who die while doing jihad is considered to be martyred not dead and is said to stay alive till the judgement day. Saying of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), reported through Hazrat Ans can also show this:
"No one after entering paradise will like to return to the world with idea of having each and everything on the earth. On the other hand the martyr will aspire to and will wish to be put to death in the path of Allah ten times because knows the value and grand of martyrdom."

Answer 1

there is so much hatred in the world against islam and jihad, i wish there was a way to explain the good sides of it instead of just seeing and hearing the bad things over and over again

Answer 2

The Quran can readily be intepreted as a violent approach, and that's what is going on in materials of the arena. So that's why fundemental and Islam in combination imply the militant mob. What is the Islamic international doing to quit those militant predominant Islamists, now not very a lot if some thing in any respect... which equates to tacit help. And you surprise why individuals misrepresent materials of your faith?

Answer 3

Bin Laden is actually responsible for getting people to use the word Jihad for more than what it originally meant. This happens a lot with certain words.

Answer 4

We have a common religion we like. We don't need another.

Answer 5

This is not a question!
