Hi there.
Not really trying to ask for you to do my homework. Just some feedback.
I've been asked to explain the significance of the concept of jihad as part of our Islam depth study for the prelim course. The main points I have come up with are:
- Jihad is a struggle against evil. Muslims believe fighting is ok if it is to put something right or to defend Islam.
- The most important jihad is within the self; resisting the nafs.
- “Islam” is the Arabic word for submission. Submission demands struggle as it is god’s will that people will struggle in his path. As such Jihad is of critical significance to submitting to god.
[FONT="]- Muslims believe this struggle will bring peace to society and recognise the divine reality of our consciousness.
Think i'm missing any major points, or have anything incorrect?
If i'm doing anything wrong by asking this please let me know, don't just go ahead and lock this thread.
Cheers.
