You wrote this little gem

>Salaamo Aleikum (Peace be upon you all) / Good Day

No it is al-salamu 3alaikum. And why is it that you seem to have a problem with the Arabic language al al-ta3reef like Pakis?

Now the word jihad means holy war and get over it. You need to spend some time reading a good Arabic language dictionary like Ibn Manzur's Lisan al-3Arab and spend some time reading Sibawayhe's "Kitab" of Arabic garmmar before you post here again. And if you do this you will discover that the word Jihad really means holy. Oh you also need to read Malik's book "Kitab al-jihad"
