Understanding The Concepts Of “Sharia” And “Jihad” Correctly
Other languages
The word ‘jihad’ means ‘striving or showing an effort’ NOT in the form of 'waging a war', but in the form of an 'intellectual struggle' according to the Qur’an. In Islam, war, military action, is only waged for the purposes of self-defense.
It is an immoral, irrational and savage act to stab an innocent civilian and considering this an act of struggle in the way of religion.
Believers find excitement in the eagerness to carry out jihad, that is to say, struggling intellectually for the sake of Islam. If the hearts of people are plagued by laziness and carelessness, they grow weary and negligent. They withdraw into themselves as they do not concern themselves with religion, fear of God, or love of God. They do not feel any excitement that will reflect on their faces.
