jihad is not always fighting

Most of the non-muslims think that jihad is a physical battle.

well its not.Jihad means struggle that a muslim does to be a good muslim.Like when we wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning that's jihad, when muslim men and boys go to read jummah in the mosquye thats jihad, when muslim women and girls read jummah at home thats jihad.yes physical battle is a part of it but only when necesarry not for fun.Some people do alot of wrong things in the name of god which they shouldn't.Jus because you are a muslim doenst mean you will go to heaven, you have to be a good human and a good muslim.

regards maya
