Various Types of Jihad Jihad bil Maal Jihad bil Qalum (pen) Jihad bil Saif (Qital) Greatest is Jihad bil Nafs (Jihad-e-Akbar) While returning from Battle of Hunain The holy Prophet said “ we came from Jihad-e- Asgher to Jihad-e-Akbar 31
32
Jihad bil-ma’al Wealth is given by Allah and it should be spent in His way Necessary source for every Jihad If everyone cant participate physically, they can participate financially 32
33
Jihad bil-Qalum (Pen) To fight with pen Against ignorance, Illiteracy, Social evils Mental persuasion for teachings of Islam Superior to Jihad bil Maal 33
34
Jihad bi-na’fs Fighting with inner self against the evils Because,Rightness of all actions depends on precision of inner-self It means controlling evil desires of Nafs-e- Ammara (Evil Self) Requires the greatest efforts Superior to all kinds of Jihads 34
35
JIHAD AL-AKBAR The highest kind of jihad is to strive against one's self and restrain oneself from evil desires Quran say's “And those who strive in Our cause. We will certainly guide them in Our paths,For verily Allah is with those who do right.” The Holy Prophet (PBUH) once said “the best jihad is that one does against one's self and desires 35
36
Jihad bil Saif (Qital) A distinctive feature of Islam Jihad in the form of warfare High honor for Shaheed and Ghazi Option of last resort Concept became debatable in these days 36
37
Jihad as warfare (Qitaal) In the Qur’an the term used for this form of Jihad is Qittaal The only form of warfare permissible under in Islamic jurisprudence May be declared against : Apostates, Rebels, Violent Groups, Non-Muslim combatants, 37
38
Rules for Jihad Classical manuals of Islamic jurisprudence, the rules regarding armed warfare are covered at great length. Not killing women, children and non- combatants Not to damage cultivated or residential areas 38
39
Levels of Jihad Three levels: Personal: That of the soul Verbal: Raising one's voice in the name of Allah on behalf of justice. "The most excellent jihad is the speaking of truth in the face of a tyrant" (Hadith) Physical: Combat waged in defense against oppression and transgression Profoundly misunderstood in today's world 39
40
Various Views about Jihad Jihad has been classified by sunni scholars as Jihād al-akbar (the greater jihad), the struggle against one's soul (nafs), Jihād al-asghar (the lesser jihad), the external, physical effort, often implying fighting Similar view of the shiite scholars about Jihad 40
41
Another view The Hanbali scholars believe that "internal Jihad" is important but they suggests those Hadith as weak which consider "Jihad of the heart/soul" to be more important than "Jihad by the sword". 41

History of Jihad Driving forces and Issues 53
54
History Jihad by Holy Prophet-1 st Righteous Caliphate-2 nd Against Zakat refusers, Apostates Umayyad (661-750)-3 rd -Expansionists Samarqand,Bukhara,Spain,Sindh Abbasid (750-1258)-4 th- Defensive Crusades (1095-1270) 54
55
Cont…. Ottoman (1299-1923)-5 th Mixture Constantinople(1452) Sub Continent-6 th Individual Tarain (1192), Mughals 1526 -1757 Mysore(1782-1799),Balakot (1831) War of Independence,Kashmir(1948 and 1987) Afghanistan(1980s) Present Day Jihad – 7 th Non State Actors 55
56
Driving Forces Jihad should not be undertaken To gratify one’s whims, nor to obtain wealth and riches To conquer territories and rule them,to acquire fame to appease the emotions of communal support, and hostility On the contrary, it should be undertaken only for the cause of Allah as is evident from the words. As in Qur'an: Those who believe, fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Satan. So fight you against the friends of Satan 56
57
Propaganda against Jihad Ad hoc definitions of jihad by West Individuals involved in terrorist activities 'holy war‘ the use of violence, including paramilitary action against persons, governments deemed to be enemies of the fundamentalist version of Islam.” 'violent jihad' or 'jihad' include planning, preparing for, and engaging in, acts of physical violence, including murder, damaging, kidnapping, and hostage-taking. 57
58
Cont… In West,specially in US the term Jihadist, technically is referred A derogatory term of Mujahid Frequently used to describe militant Islamic groups Not restricted to Islamic terrorism 58
59
Issues Qital: When does it become obligatory? permission of State required or not Qital: Defensive (Difai) or Offensive (Iqdami)? Qital: Obligatory on all or on few? “Jihadist:” Western attempts at defaming Jihad 59
60
Conclusion This is one of the fundamentals of Islam and it is a great worship. Adversaries of Islam has restricted this word to the narrow meaning of “war against the enemies of religion. The word jihad contains in itself the broad significant activities striving without which no movement has either succeeded in the past or can succeed in the future. 60
61
Conclusion A unique worship Ijtihad in essence of Johad is needed Negative propaganda should be countered 61
