For the readers: You will notice that Khaled does not provide us with a reference from a dictionary to prove his point so read and enjoy

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?

>İ did not use the number because it is mostly Americans on this website who dont understand that 3 is for the Aieen. İf you are going to start trolling, then just dont post at all. Don't tell me how İ should write my posts.

You must pardon me but you are Ignorant. I'm not talking about the number 3 which stands for the letter 3ayn. I'm talking about using al al-ta3reef. You have no clue about what I'm talikng about. Do you? You are either a careless reader or you have no clue like most Pakistanis about al- al-ta3reef so which one is it?And why do you pretend to be an Arab when you are no more than another Paki?

Now the word jihad means holy war and get over it.

>it means 'struggle'.....go check the dictionary

Which dictionary? You cannot even know how to read one if I put one infront of you and do you know why? Because you do not know any Arabic.

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"

>i dont need to read any literature to know the truth.

What truth? that you ignorant or that you are lazy?

> Struggling to be a good Muslim and not stray from the correct path is jihad. This is very basic İslam 101 --and you are merely brainwashed.

The ignorant is you

>Jihad is the most misunderstood term by people like you.

Then provide me with the evidence from qawamees wa ma3ajim al-lugha al-3arabiyya and the following will not be acccepted as evidence:

1. wikipedia

2. I Khaled whose papa is a diplomat said so

3. My Mullah said so

>p.s. stop trying to pretend like YOU speak Arabic. and quit your trolling....

I will leave this little gem to the readers to judge you
