Other meanings of jihad
0:11
There are two other meanings of jihad besides this primary one.
0:17
Even though they pave the way for it.
0:20
And they are like a prelude to fighting.
0:24
First: striving against the self and Satan.
0:27
This is a form of jihad.
0:30
It paves the way for jihad against the disbelievers.
0:32
And it is not waived for any Muslim.
0:35
Second: jihad of the heart.
0:38
This is dissociation from disbelief and its people.
0:41
And hating them and lying in wait for them.
0:43
And the self's contemplation of invading them.
0:46
As the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:49
"Whoever dies without having fought, and without having contemplated fighting in his heart,
0:53
dies on a branch of hypocrisy."
0:57
Narrated by Muslim.
0:59
And based on this,
1:01
the type of jihad is an individual obligation.
1:03
Either with the heart,
1:05
or with the tongue,
1:07
or with wealth,
1:08
or with the hand.
1:10
So every Muslim must strive in one of these ways.
1:15
"Go forth, whether light or heavy."
1:18
“Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew.” (9:41)
1:23
"That is better for you, if you should know."
1:28
Allah the Almighty says:
1:30
“As for those who strive in Us, We surely guide them to Our paths, and lo! Allah is with the good.” (29:69)
1:34
So Allah, glorified is He, linked guidance to jihad.
1:38
Thus, the most complete in guidance are the greatest in jihad.
1:42
And the most obligatory jihad is striving against the self.
1:45
And striving against desires, striving against Satan, and striving against the world.
1:51
So whoever strives against these four for the sake of Allah,
1:54
Allah will guide him to the paths of His pleasure,
1:56
leading to His Paradise.
1:58
And whoever abandons jihad misses out on guidance,
2:02
to the extent that he neglects jihad.
2:04
And one cannot be enabled to fight his enemy outwardly
2:08
except by one who has fought these enemies inwardly.
2:12
So whoever triumphs over them will triumph over his enemy.
2:16
And whoever is triumphed over by them, his enemy will triumph over him.
