the jihad of self defense

JIHAD IS CONVEYING THE MESSAGE OF THE ONE TRUE GOD.

WE ARE ON THIS PLANET AS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MERCIFUL AND COMPASSIONATE GOD TO ESTABLISH PEACE AND HARMONY THROUGH COMPLETE SUBMISSION TO HIS COMMANDS

JIHAD IS A CONCEPT OF THE ONE TRUE GOD WHO ALONE DESERVES ALL WORSHIP.

ALL EFFORTS IN THE WAY OF GOD ARE jihad

GIVING TO CHARITY AND FIGHTING TYRANNY ARE EXAMPLE OF ACT jihad

MUSLIMS ARE PERMITTED TO TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST THOSE WHO WAGE
WAR AGAINST THEM.

ARMED jihad IS THEREFORE PERMITTED ONLY IN SELF DEFENSE

THE RETALIATION AGAINST THE ARMED ATTACKS MUST BE MEASURED AND
PROPORTIONATE.

ARMED JIHAD IS TEMPORARY IN THAT IT ENDS WHEN THE ENEMY CEASES ITS AGGRESSION

MUSLIMS MUST MOVE QUICKLY TO ESTABLISH PEACE ONCE THE ENEMY SEEKS PEACE

IN ISLAM, SHOWING COMPASSION TO THE ENEMY THAT HAS BEEN DEFEATED OR IS SEEKING PEACE IS CONSIDERED SUPERIOR TO ACHIEVING
VICTORY..

THE AIM OF ARMED JIHAD IS TO RESTORE PEACE AND AVERT MORE WARS AND AGGRESSION .

MUSLIMS ARE PROHIBITED FROM ENGAGING IN ARMED ACTS OF AGGRESION EVEN THEIR SWORN ENEMIES...WHEN OTHERS COMMITS MURDERS THEIR RELIGION IS NEVER MENTIONED...

BUT WHEN MUSLIMS RESORT TO VIOLENCE AGAINST POLITICAL OPPRESSION,ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION AND THE TRUE MEANING OF JIHAD IS CONVEYING THE TRUE MEANING OF JIHAD TO MUSLIMS AND NON-MUSLIMS.

TODAY THE ENEMIES OF TRUTH CAN DESTROY OTHERS WITHOUT ENTERING THEIR TERRITORIES.

JIHAD IS TAKING PROACTIVE MEASURE AGAINST THESE 'UNAMRED' COMBATANTS IN MANNER THAT IS TACTICALLY SAVVY AND MULTI-FACETED, AND SEEK TO RESTORE ECONOMIC ANF POLITICAL JUSTICE AND PEACE.

JIHAD IS ACQURING KNOWLEDGE AND DEVELOPING SKILLS THAT WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR OTHERS TO EASILY OPPRESS AND KILL MUSLIMS.'

JIHAD IS FOSTERING UNITY AMONGST THE BELIEVERS IN ONE TRUE GOD TO STRENGTHEN THE COALITION TO ESTABLISH JUSTICE AND WORLD PEACE.

JIHAD IS TO BE VIGILANT AGAINST THE ATTEMPTS BY OTHERS TO MAKE
US DEFINE JIHAD IN MANNER THAT FITS THEIR ULTERIOR MOTIVES.

JIHAD IS NOT RESPONDING IN A MANNER DESIRED BY OTHERS THAT WILL MAKE IT EASY FOR THEM TO TARNISH THE IMAGE OF MUSLIMS AND ISLAM.

JIHAD IS PREPARING FOR THE JIHAD OF SELF DEFENSE AND PROPAGATING
THE TRUTH BY WINNING JIHAD AGAINST THE SELF.


THE JIHAD AGAINST THE ENEMY WITHIN

THE JIHAD AGAINST THE PULL OF THE LOWER FORCES WITHIN US IS A PERMANENT JIHAD.

GREED,LUST,VENGEANCE,AND JEALOUSY ARE AMONGST NUMEROUS TYPES OF EVIL WITHIN US THAT LEADS TO MISERY IN OUR LIFE.

OBSERVANCE OF THE 5X DAILY PRAYERS.
WILL SHIELD US FROM SHAMEFUL DEEDS

FASTING FROM DAWN TO DUSK AND DOUBLING OF GOOD DEEDS DURING RAMADHAN WILL REENERGIZE OUR MORAL BATTERIES TO FIGHT THE LOWER FORCES.

PAYING ANNUAL POOR RATE OR ZAKAT IS REMINDER TO US THAT OTHERS HAVE A RIGHT OVER OUR WEALTH AND THAT WE SHOULD CARE FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE JUST AS ALLAH HAS BEEN GENEROUS TO US.

THROUGH A COMBINATION OF OBLIGATORY DUTIES AND OTHER ACTS THAT PLEASE ALLAH, ISLAM OFFERS AN INTERGRATED PROGRAM OF WORSHIP AND LIFE STYLE THAT STRENGTHEN OUR DEFENSES AGAINST THE PULL OF THE LOWER FORCES IS US.

SUCCESS IN THIS GREATER JIHAD AGAINST THE ENEMY WITHIN FOUNDATION IS THE FOUNDATION FOR ACHIEVING VICTORY IN THE JIHAD AGAINST THE HYPROCRITES AND THE DISBELIEVERS.



WELCOME TO THE STRAIGHT PATH OF ISLAM.
