| | Jihad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Spiritual Significance of Jihad by Seyyed Hossein Nasr | | | Jihad (Arabic: جهاد ǧihād) is an Islamic term, from the Arabic root ǧhd ("to exert utmost effort, to strive, struggle"), which connotes a wide range of meanings: anything from an inward spiritual struggle to attain perfect faith to a political or military struggle to further the Islamic cause. | | | The first jihad is followed by certainty of faith, and the second is followed by patience. |

| | Jihad, in Islam, the struggle to please God. | | | The Qur'an (Koran), the sacred scripture of Islam, states that those who die in this type of jihad, while fighting for the faith, automatically become martyrs and are awarded a special place in heaven. | | | These sects believe the only person legitimately capable of conducting such a jihad is their imam, or spiritual leader. |

| | Jihad: How Academics Have Camouflaged Its Real Meaning |
| | To quote the 1885 Dictionary of Islam, jihad is "an incumbent religious duty, established in the Qur'an and in the traditions [hadith] as a divine institution, and enjoined especially for the purpose of advancing Islam and of repelling evil from Muslims." | | | In brief, jihad was part of the warp and woof not only of premodern Muslim doctrine but of premodern Muslim life. | | | JIHAD WAS no abstract obligation through the centuries, but a key aspect of Muslim life. |

| | Jihad should not be confused with Holy War; the latter does not exist in Islam nor will Islam allow its followers to be involved in a Holy War. | | | It should never be interpreted as a way of compulsion of the belief on others, since there is an explicit verse in the Qur'an that says:"There is no compulsion in religion" Al-Qur'an: Al-Baqarah (2:256). | | | It is an Arabic word the root of which is Jahada, which means to strive for a better way of life. |

| | What Does Jihad Mean |
| | Conversely, the greater jihad is a necessary part of the process of gaining spiritual insight.[17] By the eleventh century Sufism had become an extremely influential, and perhaps even the dominant, form of Islamic spirituality. | | | This survey indicates that while the concept of jihad retains a special place among the Islamists, the spiritual descendants of Ibn Taymiya, other Islamic thinkers of the modern age have developed distinctive approaches to this issue. | | | Khomeini, however, pitilessly incites people to go to their deaths.” A father spoke of his son: “My son now is telling me about the true Islam; they have to fight a holy war (he says) and of necessity get killed. |

| | Understanding Jihad by Mark Gould - Policy Review, No. 129 |
| | Jihad is a collective obligation, “[which means that—R.P.] if it is fulfilled by a sufficient number [of Muslims—R.P.], the obligation lapses for all others and the merit goes to those who have fulfilled it.” (53). | | | From the Islamist point of view, this is a misrepresentation of the Islamic tradition, which requires offensive war to impose an Islamic state, enabling Muslims to practice their religion, while providing the opportunity for non-Muslims to have access to true religion. | | | if jihad is necessary to construct that world, an Islamic state to impose actions in conformity with shari’ah, if not conformity with Islamic belief, jihad is viewed by many Muslims as a religious obligation. |

| | Jihad, here seen in the Holy Scriptures, is different from ordinary warfare, it has two distinct components, first, the infidel, the alien within your land, if through their existence, they violate Yahweh’s Law, they have earned Jihad, and they must all be destroyed, man, woman and child. | | | Second, the condemned races, or hybrids of condemned origin, these must also be dealt with in Jihad, and Biblical Jihad is not a spiritual battle, but a genocidal battle, men, women and children, animals of their possession, all must be destroyed. | | | Let the Islamic world know, Jihad is not just their ideal, it is not they alone in this Holiest of causes, we are here to join them in Holy Worldwide Jihad. |
