THE REAL MEANING OF JIHAD.

Reader comment on item: What is Jihad?

Submitted by Sadaf Shahid (Ireland), Mar 9, 2004 at 15:54

My friend the real meaning of Jihad is as under:-

Jihad is extracted from Jehad-which means "to try" and Jihad means "to try for the sake for ALLAH".
Help those Muslim who are in Minority and living a miserable life under the rule of non-muslim. It is to re-occupy the place from those have forceably captured - like Jerusalem, Kashmir, Bosnia, Chechnya, and Spain(undlas).

My dear, read it that In the Word of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) "A Whole Muslim Community is just like one Body If some hurts the part of Body the Whole Body feels the pain".

So My dear, we will see when someone hurts your close family, rape your sister-mother or someone close to you and how you react.

Thanks

S. Shahid
