Jihad

(Djihad: struggle) All military and non-military means, to be used for the expansion of the Islam. Each Moslem is obligated to the Jihad including deception.

Jihad

Contrary to popular opinion in the West, this does not mean "holy war". A literal translation is "struggle". The struggle to establish justice and righteousness may or may not involve military action. Just as Westerners talk about their "crusade against poverty", so Muslims can use jihad in the same sense. There is also the "greater jihad", which is entirely against the caprices of the soul; the jihad in the world is the "lesser jihad"

Jihad literally means `to strive` or `to exert to the utmost.` In islamic parlance it signifies all forms of striving, including armed struggle, aimed at making the Word of God prevail

Jihad

Literally, striving. Any earnest striving in the way of God, involving either personal effort, material resources, or arms for righteousness and against evil, wrongdoing and oppression. Where it involves armed struggle, it must be for the defense of the Muslim community or a just war to protect even non-Muslims from evil, oppression, and tyranny
