Aoa sisters
sister zeynab very informative post you have correctly mentioned sister The concept of Jihad in quran is not an easy one to grasp its applied in varies manners. i would like to add little more the way its look like to me and please correct my both understanings if i am wrong
on first place jihad is a means of struggling within oneself in order to rectify ones character and speech, purify oneself from sin and is ultimately a means of getting closer to Allah ?? unfortunately for muslims concept of jihad only based on fight against the enemies of Islam.we all are missguided by ulmas. are we all fighting agaist ourself ??
Jihad of the soul (Jihad bin-nafs ) an inner struggle of good against evil in the mind
muslims practices .. ( zina) adultery ,Mut'a, Misyar ,Urfi , waste of money only for showing off ??
Jihad of the tongue (Jihad bil-lisaan)speaking the truth ,is concerned with spreading the word of Allah ,Quran with one’s tongue and the verbal defence of Islam
our practices (backbiting, hurting eachother through bad speech,spreading wrong/false information aginst quran and prophet(pbuh) ??
Jihad of the pen (Jihad bil-qalam) spreading right knowledge
Are we Writing against evil through scholarly study ? against cheat ulams , any action against mistranslation of Quran ? against these hadiths ? Are we writing anything Good about our religion??
Jihad of the hand (Jihad bil-yad) standing against the injustice in our societies/help
our practices ..Killing eachother ? are we struggling to establish justice in the land and to support brother's and sister's ??are we struggling for poor's ,charity with honesty ??
Why only focus on Jihad of the sword (Jihad bis-saif) last category fight against the enemies of Islam
ulma based perspective of jihad for brain washed muslims .?????? kill innocent to get 72 houris in heaven ???? such houris (sex slave female)originally does not Exist in QURAN ??
and if you want than do jihad angainst muslims those are biggest enemy of islam .
Amr bi al-Ma’ruf Wa Nahy ‘an al- munkar .is possessed by every believer ,Every believer is to do his/her work according to his/ her capacity indusually first.One should have sure knowledge that a certain thing is right or wrong before commanding or forbidding it.Like all religious duties, commanding good and forbidding wrong should also be based on sincere intentions. It should be done for the sake of Allah and not for any worldly motives, like satisfying one's desires, or any material motives.Including one's own self.
Enjoin ye righteousness upon mankind while ye yourselves forget (to practise it)? And ye are readers of the Scripture! Have ye then no sense? 2:44
The Quran with its key agenda of Amr bi al-Ma’ruf Wa Nahy ‘an al- munkar.These verses make it a collective and individual responsibility of all Muslims to command the proper and forbid the improper
Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him: they are the successful..7:157

(Triumphant) are those who turn repentant (to Allah), those who serve (Him), those who praise (Him), those who fast, those who bow down, those who fall prostrate (in worship), those who enjoin the right and who forbid the wrong and those who keep the limits (ordained) of Allah - And give glad tidings to believers!9:112
O my dear son! Lo! though it be but the weight of a grain of mustard-seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens, or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Lo! Allah is Subtile, Aware.31:16
