What is Jihad?

Kabarkaya.com. The word Jihad stems from the Arabic root word J-H-D, which means "Stive" other word derived from this root include "effort". labor and "fatigue" Essentially Jihad is an effort to practice religion in the face of oppresecution, The effort may come in fighting the evil in your own heart, or in standing up to dictator Military effort is included as an option, but as a last resort and not "to spread islam by the sword" as the streo type would have one believe.

The Qur'an describes Jihad as a system of checks and balances, as a way that Allah set up "check one people by means of another". When one person or group transgresses their limits and violates the rights of others, Muslims have the right and the right and the Qur'an that describe jihad in this manner one example:An did not Allah check one set of people by means of another, the eart would indeed be full of mischief, but Allah is full of Bounty to all the world" [Qur'an 2:251]

Even hurting or destroying animals or trees is forbidden. War is waged only to defend the relegious community against oppression and persecution, because the Qur'an says that "persecution is worse than slaugter" and " let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" (Qur'an 2:190-193). Therefore, if non-Muslims are peacefull or indifferent to Islam, there is no justified reason to declare war on them.

The Qur'an describes those people who are permitted to fight " They are those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right, for no cause except that they , "Our Lord is Allah Did not Allah check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of God is commemorated in abundant measure...."[Qur'an 22:40].

Forcing someone at the point of a sword to chose death or Islam is an idea that is foreign to Islam in spirit and in historical practice. There is absolutely no question of waging a "holy war" to "spread the faith" and compel people to embrace Islam, that would be an unholy war and the people's forced conversions would not be sincere.
