fellow muslims how can you define jihad?should it be practised today?

Question

give example of a situation where jihad can be applied on this modern day if any.

Answer 1

well the jihad has three types;
1. jihad with nafs i.e., war with yourself, keeping away yourself from forbidden things. the war with your inner man, not to let your heart or brain into a certain thing which is against the Religion, example, wine is forbidden in Islam so i have to stop myself from drinking alcohol.
2. jihad with qalam i.e., war with pen against evil, against the leaders who are not taking any action to tackle country's problems.
3. jihad with talwar i.e., war against the non-muslims when they occupy muslim states, like in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan. or it can be against country's leader who is not going through or with Islamic teachings, example is what is happening in Pakistan now a days.
Jihad is every where at every time.

Answer 2

In line with islamic teaching jihad is the war in maintaining Islam and in protecting muslims from the attackers of non muslim sodiers or muslims who work together with muslim enemies.
It can be practised in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan in this modern day because the attackers are non muslim soldiers
who invaded their countries without solid and valid reason.
There also the value of jihad which can be obtained in the peaceful countries such as died on the birth of her child,,die d on the preventing his/her own wealth from the robber,died on the plane crash,died on coming back home from his office in a car collision etc.
