Misinterpretations never benefit :

Jihad is a process by which a believer strives to keep his body, mind and soul :- "pure" and in submission to the will of our Only Creator.

No amount of vice, valour and intellect can produce everlasting beneficial results to oneself or mankind at large; without the "positive spirit and belief".

All the lives of all the Messengers from God (ALLAH); in essence are the best emblem for mankind : which can be summarized in this word : 'jihad".

Every moment, every act of theirs throughout their existence was devoted for the betterment and benevolence of all mankind; whether they were accepted or not by then masses; was not their concern; their duty was unto God-of all mankind: ALLAH.

The higher the intellect the better the grasping power to understand and implement this concept.

May God help us to ""STRIVE & STRUGGLE"' to attain Peace and Prosperity for all MANKIND forever!
