Lesson- Jihad
This document discusses Muslim attitudes toward war and the concept of jihad. It explains:
- Greater jihad refers to the struggle within oneself to be a good person and follow Islamic principles. Lesser jihad involves using military force to defend Islam.
- There are important rules for lesser jihad, including only fighting to restore peace, freedom and harmony, not to convert people or gain territory. The aim should not be winning but establishing what is right and removing evil.
- The ideas of greater and lesser jihad indicate that while Islam permits defensive war, the inner struggle to follow religious teachings is viewed as more important and difficult than outer military conflicts. Peace and harmony between all people is the ultimate goal.
ijtihad

Preventing corruption in Nigeria: The relevance of the Islamic approach and t...
This document discusses approaches to combating corruption in Nigeria from both a legal and Islamic perspective. It summarizes that corruption undermines society by promoting a "national cake mentality" and stunting economic development. Both the Nigerian legal system and Sharia emphasize preventing corruption, with Sharia focusing on institutions like hisbah to correct citizens, zakat to reduce poverty, and mazaalim to address complaints against officials. The author recommends Nigeria fight corruption through a collective action approach and institutionalizing Islamic mechanisms like zakat and waqf funds while removing immunity clauses. The Muslim youth are urged to help enforce righteousness and prohibit corruption through cooperation and peaceful advocacy.
Jihad and the Islamic law of war
The document discusses the concept of jihad in Islam and argues against the common translation of "holy war". It makes three key points:
1) Jihad literally means "struggle" and encompasses both non-violent and violent struggle, with non-violent struggle seen as superior.
2) During the early Meccan period when Muslims were persecuted minorities, they were only commanded to engage in non-violent struggle through preaching and steadfastness.
3) Armed combat was later permitted in the Medinan period in self-defense and to protect basic rights like life and property, but Muslims are never permitted to wage war merely because others are non-Muslim

The Muslims who killed innocent Muslims are insulting their religion They can not be true Muslims .Similarly those who killed innocent Muslims are also terrorists .Actually these two groups of people are helping each other indirectly.The anti terrorism war should be called against both of these two groups ,in other ways we should fight against those people who kills innocent people either he is Muslim or from other community.The anti terrorism activities should be operated neutrally ,it should not be biased if we want really a peaceful world.No religion supports terrorism and a few people in every religions are evils who are enough to make this world unstable.So we should not try to make popular a single community as terrorists because in this case the real terrorists are free which is not beneficiary for the world and mankind at all.Lets lead our lives naturally and peacefully

Welcome the Second Coming
Saying of the Holy Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allah be on him
Beware; there will be no prophet or messenger between Jesus, the son of Mary, and me. Remember, he shall be my Caliph after me to my people. Remember, he will vanquish Anti-Christ, break the Cross (with argument), abolish the taking of Jizya (tax collected from defeated people), as there would no longer be any war. Remember, whoever meets him should convey my greetings to him.
Islam And Violence
While some claim Islam promotes violence, the document argues this is a misinterpretation. It summarizes that the Quran and hadiths instruct Muslims to act with justice, mercy, and avoid harming others. Terrorism runs contrary to Islamic principles of preserving life and avoiding aggression. Islamic law establishes protections for life, intellect, property, lineage and faith.
Islam Is The Religion Of Peace
Islam promotes comprehensive peace based on its principles of mercy, justice, and moral virtues. It enjoins Muslims to establish friendly relations even with enemies and incline towards peace whenever the enemy does. Key Islamic concepts like "Islam", "Salam", and the greeting "As-Salamu Alaikum" emphasize peace. The purpose of Islam is to please Allah through righteous deeds that guide people to peace and safety.
Jihad supreme efforts in the way of allah, Guidance from the Holy Qur'an
Guidance from the Holy Qur'an
Jihad means, exerting one's utmost power contending with an object of disapprobation, and this is of three kinds, namely, (1) with a visible enemy, (2) with Satan, and (3) with one's self.
The Quran teaches that when war breaks out, it should be waged in such a way as to cause the least possible amount of damage to life and property; and that hostilities should be brought to a close as quickly as possible.
22:40 Permission to fight is given to those against whom war is made, because they have been wronged - and Allah indeed has power to help them -
22:41 Those who have been driven out from their homes unjustly only because they said, 'Our Lord is Allah' - And if Allah did not repel some men by means of others, there would surely have been pulled down cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft commemorated. And Allah will surely help one who helps Him. Allah is indeed Powerful, Mighty -
60:9 Allah forbids you not, respecting those who have not fought against you on account of your religion, and who have not driven you forth from your homes, that you be kind to them and act equitably towards them; surely Allah loves those who are equitable.
60:10 Allah only forbids you - respecting those who have fought against you on account of your religion, and have driven you out of your homes, and have helped others in driving you out, that you make friends of them, and whosoever makes friends of them-it is these that are the transgressors.
61:11 O ye who believe! shall I point out to you a bargain that will save you from a painful punishment?
61:12 That you believe in Allah and His Messenger, and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your persons. That is better for you, if you did not know.
29:70 And as for those who strive in Our path-We will surely guide them in Our ways. And verily Allah is with those who do good.

Was islam spread by the sword ?
1) Islam was not spread by the sword. While war is permitted in self-defense and to establish justice, the Quran makes clear that initiating hostilities or aggression is forbidden.
2) Islam spread rapidly during periods of peace, not war. Many historians have rejected the myth that early Muslims forced conversion at sword-point. Islam appealed to people through its rational and simple teachings as well as impressive rituals.
3) When Muslim armies entered places like Makkah and Jerusalem, there was no bloodshed or forced conversion - people were free to stay or leave as they chose. This contrasts with violence during the Crusades. Indonesia and East Africa also entered Islam peacefully, without military conquest.

(Sahih Al-Bukhari #5972). Yet another man asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH): "What kind of jihad is better?” He replied, “A word of truth in front of an oppressive ruler!" (Sunan Al-Nasa'i #4209). The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "the mujahid (one who carries out jihad) is he who strive against himself for the sake of Allah, and the muhajir (one who emigrates) is he who abandons evil deeds and sin."
