jihad is arabic word for striving(struggle). eg: a student struggling to get better grades in exam is engaging in jihad. but unfornunately not all muslims know wot jihad means.many think tht jihad means to fight non muslims. the only time muslims should fight non muslims is to defend themselves or their religion. this is also jihad. but this jihad has limitations. eg: a muslim cant attack old ppl, sick ppl, babies or others who are not participating in the war.
but the best type of jihad is jihad against ones own evil inclinations.
