Spiritual Jihad

Submitted by Albert Soued (France), Jun 8, 2002 at 10:02

At the dawn of Islam, "jihad" was the warfare against the infidels. In the middle ages, the meaning widened to include also spiritual accomplishment. As far as I know, to-day spiritual jihad applies only to "sufi" moslems, representing 0.1% of Islam.
As a common word jihad is the effort to achieve a target.
