TYPES OF JIHAD/STRUGGLES

NUMBER 1–Jihad an-Nafs (learning-practicing-teaching islam iman ihsan )

“The best Jihad is for one to perform Jihad against his own self and against his desires” [Abu Nu’aim]

“Jihad against one’s own self in the Cause of Allah is the best Jihad” [at-Tabaraani]

(during the farewell Hajj): The (true) Muslim is he who people are safe from (being harmed by) his tongue and hand. The (true) Mujahid is he who performs Jihad an-Nafs in the obedience of Allah. And the (true)Muhajir (the migrant in the Cause of Allah) is he who abandons error and sin” [Ahmed, al-Haakim and at-Tabaraani]

NUMBER 2—Jihad ash-Shaitan (ignoring temptations and doubts caused by shaintan ie by keeping clean your intentions(do it only for pleasure/raza of allah) and ignoring waswasas (keep patience))

“Surely, Shaitan is an enemy to you, so treat his as an enemy” [35/6]

“He (Shaitan) said: My Lord! Because you have sent me astray I shall verily adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them everyone, except such of them as are Your perfectly devoted slaves” [39/40]

“And say: ‘My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the shayateen (devils). And I seek refuge with You, My Lord! Lest that they may attend (or come near) me'” [23/97-98]

NUMBER 3 —Jihad al-Kuffar wal-Munafiqeen (by using the heart, tongue, wealth and one’s self (body)).

Main genuine goal of jihad is to establish  the worship of Allah on the earth(not for power/wealth/desires/democracy/nationalism)

Establishing Allah’s word and law supreme on the earth(social/economical/political/religious etc).

True worship of Allah can only be realized when islam enters our lives completely(social/economical /political/religious etc).

Jihad al-Kuffar is usually practiced with the hand, while Jihad al-Munafiqeen is usually practiced by the tongue (by refuting them and exposing their misguided ways, etc.)

“Perform Jihad against the disbelievers with your wealth, with yourself and with your tongues”(abu dawood)

“He who supports a Ghazi (Mujahid) in the Cause of Allah, will have performed Ghazw (fighting in Jihad) himself. He who takes care of a Ghazi’s family in a way that is better, will have performed Ghazw himself.” [Al-Bukhari]

“But strive hard against them (ie. the Kuffar), (by preaching) with the utmost endeavor, with it (ie. the Qur’an)” [25/52] 

“O Prophet! Perform Jihad against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be severe against them” [66/9]

“O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that, when you are asked to go forth in the Cause of Allah, you cling heavily to the earth? Do you prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter” [9/38]

“Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith fight in the cause of Evil: so fight you against the friends of Shaitan – feeble indeed is the cunning of Shaitan” [4/76]

NUMBER 4—Jihad Against those who Practice Injustice, Innovations and Sin (USING HAND FIRST  OR  USING TONGUE OR ATLEAST HEART MUST SAY ITS WRONG)

“He amongst you who witnesses an evil, let him change (remove, stop) it with his hand. If unable, then with his tongue, and if unable, then with his heart, and this indeed is the weakest Iman.” [Muslim]

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
