How did the jihad influence the lives of Muslims?

Answer 1

As concerns the Greater Jihad, which is an introspective journey to conquer your internal demons and follow the Divine Laws more closely than previously, this leads to an increase in the level of piety of the practitioner. As concerns the Lesser Jihad, this is usually in the form of warfare between Muslims and Non-Muslims or other Muslims. This jihad is almost necessarily violent, unless the actor chooses to use non-violent protest or debate as his form of jihad.

Historically, the Lesser Jihad is easier to document than the Greater Jihad, if only because political history is much easier to discern from the historical record than personal development. The Lesser Jihad has, in my view, been a strongly negative influence in the growth and development of Islam as a culture. It has given dogmatic backing to regressive and violent individuals in the Muslim community who often turn that violence against fellow Muslims. Historically, the idea of Jihad resulted in the bloody conquests of India, Central Asia, Southeastern Europe, and northern Sub-Saharan Africa. In both medieval and modern times, the idea of Jihad has motivated numerous terrorist and paramilitary organizations, which target both Muslims and Non-Muslims for extermination. In the medieval period, you had fundamentalists like the Almohads and Safavids. In the modern period, you have Al-Shabaab, the Taliban, ISIL, and Hezbollah, for a small sampling.

Shariah is the code of life of a Muslim. He is bound to live in accordance with the rules given by Allah Almighty in the holy Qura'an and the Hadith and sunnah of the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (May peace and blessings of Allah Karim be upon him). Shariah demands that a Muslim must worship only ONE God. He must be truthful, honest, kind, merciful, helpful, sacrificing, upright, just, and daring in his life. He should be tolerant. In the matters of every day life, he must be honest and law abiding. Shariah has positive, reformative, and corrective effect on the life of a Muslim. It makes him chaste and poise.
