Jihad itself means to struggle. It doesn't mean war.

Answered by yamyam | 2024-06-24

Jihad means 'struggle' in Arabic and refers to both the inner spiritual struggle (Greater Jihad) and the external struggle, often involving defense of the Muslim community (Lesser Jihad). It is a misunderstood concept, with a richer meaning than just warfare. Understanding jihad highlights its significance in moral development and social justice within Islam.
