40 THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING ISLAM demonstrate one’s military might, and those waged for revenge, they are forbidden in Islam. The Prophet () said: “The Mujahid 1 is the one who struggles to perfect themselves by adhering to the teachings of Islam.” (Ibn Hibban) Other forms of Jihad include: 1. Conveying the Message of Islam to non-Muslims and being patient and forbearing when delivering this message. Allah says: So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur’an a great striving. (25:52) 2. Ordering with the good and forbidding the evil. This is the path of all Prophets and Messengers and those who follow them in truth. The Prophet () said: “Every Prophet before me had amongst his people helpers and companions who upheld the divine teachings. After them, there came a generation of people who would speak and not hold true to what they said. Whoever struggles (i.e. wages a Jihad) against them physically is a believer. Whoever refutes what they said is a believer and whoever abhors what they have done in his heart, is a believer.” (Muslim) 3. Being kind to people and making them happy and being patient with them is a form of Jihad. The Prophet () said: “The one who takes care of a widow or a poor or needy is like a Mujahid in the path of Allah, or like one who fasts the days and prays throughout the nights.” (Bukhari) 4. Teaching beneficial knowledge is as well a form of Jihad. The Prophet () said: “Whoever comes to my Masjid (i.e. in Madinah) and he has only come to it to learn or teach a good thing, he would be in the rank of a Mujahid in the path of Allah.” 1 A descriptive term used to describe those who practice Jihad.

Obeying one’s parents is a form of Jihad. The Prophet () said to a man who came to him seeking to combat the enemies: “Are your parents alive?” He said: “Yes”, so the Prophet () said: “Your Jihad is with them (i.e. to take care of them).” 7. Performing Hajj and Umrah (the greater and minor pilgrimage) are forms of Jihad. The Prophet () said: “Performing the Hajj is Jihad and the Umrah is a supererogatory act.” 8. Performing prayers in the Mosque is a form of Jihad. The Prophet () said: “Going to the Mosques to perform prayers is Jihad in the path of Allah.” (Tabrani) All good deeds fall under this form of Jihad. A Muslim must always try their best to strive to become better. 41
