The meaning of Jihad
0:11
Linguistically, "Jihad" means effort and hardship.
0:15
And Jihad is expending one's utmost effort and energy and enduring hardship to achieve a goal.
0:22
And Jihad in Islamic jurisprudence,
0:24
is a term specific to Islam.
0:27
When used generally, it primarily refers to fighting in the cause of Allah.
0:32
It is intended to mean expending one's utmost effort and energy in fighting the enemies of the religion,
0:37
so that there may be no persecution.
0:39
“And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they cease, then lo! Allah is Seer of what they do.” (8:39)
0:42
Allah the Almighty says:
0:44
“And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is all for Allah. But if they cease, then lo! Allah is Seer of what they do.” (8:39)
0:50
And fighting the enemies of the religion was not legislated
0:53
except after the destruction of Pharaoh and his people,
0:56
as the Torah was revealed to Moses, peace be upon him, after the destruction of Pharaoh.
1:01
As Allah the Almighty says:
1:03
“And We verily gave the Scripture unto Moses after We had destroyed the generations of old: clear testimonies for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that haply they might reflect.” (28:43)
1:09
And fighting the enemies was legislated therein.
1:12
And the saying of Allah the Almighty bears witness to this:
1:15
“Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (9:111)
1:23
“Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (9:111)
1:28
“Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph.” (9:111)
1:34
For the promise of Paradise for fighting in His cause was not mentioned
1:38
except in the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an,
1:41
which indicates that fighting the disbelievers was not legislated before them.
