00:00there is a word called as qital meaning to kill and islam gives permission to do qital to go to

00:11war whether it be self-defense or at war it is called as qital so one type of jihad is qital

00:22that is war in self-defense or war when required offense may be the best form of defense

00:27so there is qital but as far as the word jihad is concerned this word jihad in the first half of the

00:37prophethood of mhm sallallahu sallam when hummus received the way in about 23 years for the first

00:4411 12 years first half of his prophethood when he lived in mecca many times the revelation of the

00:55quran were revealed in mecca and the word jihad was used but the muslims in the meccan period

01:04never did any war against the non-muslim that proved that jihad does not mean

01:11killing or does not mean only going to war here the jihad was used meaning to strive and struggle

01:18many places for example allah says in the quran in surah and kabut chapter number 29 verse number 69

01:25that if you strive and struggle if you do jihad in the path of allah allah will open up his pathways

01:33that if you strive and struggle if you do jihad allah will open up your pathway it doesn't talk about war

01:38allah says in surah furkan chapter number 25 verse number 52 that do not believe in the unbelievers

01:53and strive strenuously against the unbelievers means do jihad against the kafir the unbelievers with the

02:02quran so how do we do jihad with the quran it doesn't say with the salt so jihad with the quran means

02:09we should strive and struggle to explain the quran to the non-muslims so surah furkan chapter number

02:1725 verse 52 is telling the muslims that strive strenuously do excessive jihad with the non-muslims

02:27with the quran that means they have to explain the teachings of the quran strive and struggle to

02:33explain the teachings of the quran to the non-muslims no way in no context does it mean

02:40that i have to fight i have to wage a holy war it means to strive and struggle and one verse of the

02:47quran is sufficient to dispel this misconception about jihad allah says in the quran in surah

02:54maida chapter number five verse number 32 if anyone kills any human being unless it be for murder or for

03:04spreading corruption in the land it is as though he has killed the whole of humanity and if anyone

03:11saves a single human being it is as though he has saved the whole nation yeah allah is saying if any

03:17human being whether muslim or muslim kills any other innocent human being whether muslim or muslim

03:24it is as though he has killed the whole of humanity there is no worse in any other scripture beside

03:31the quran which says this if you kill a single innocent human being unless he has done murder

03:40oh yes but corruption in the land if you kill a single innocent human being it is as though you

03:45have killed the whole of humanity and the verse continues if you save a single human being whether

03:51muslim or non-muslim if you save a single innocent human being whether muslim or non-muslim it is as though

03:58you have saved the whole of humanity whatever this verse is sufficient to dispel any misconceptions

04:06regarding jihad about islam and it is mainly the media especially after 9 11 they are spreading

04:18misconceptions regarding islam and today according to me media is the most powerful

04:26today media is the most powerful weapon in the world it can convert black into white day into night

04:33hero into a villain villain into hero unfortunately you muslims are not utilizing the media to convey the

04:40message of islam the non-muslims are using this media to attack islam we should use this media to

04:48convey to convey to do da'wah which is further on every muslim

04:56you
