There are many perspectives on what jihad is and how to properly perform the required acts. As a general rule, the Greater Jihad is an introspective journey to conquer your internal demons and follow the Divine Laws more closely than previously. This kind of jihad should be entirely peaceful. As concerns the Lesser Jihad, this is usually in the form of warfare between Muslims and Non-Muslims or other Muslims, but can also be performed through non-violent protests.

However, there are wide-ranging views among Muslims and among Non-Muslims as to how they feel about the implementation or practices of jihad.

Do Sunnis and Shiites both believe in jihad?

YES. Jihad is a Qur'anic injunction, so there is no difference between the Sunni and Shiite views of Jihad. The only Islamic group that rejects Jihad as a general concept is the Ahmadiyya community, who strictly view Jihad as an internal struggle.Both Sunnis and Shiites see Jihad as a tenet of Islam and a religious duty to strive in the way of God. There are two general ways to do this, the Greater Jihad and the Lesser Jihad. The Greater Jihad is an introspective journey to conquer your internal demons and follow the Divine Laws more closely than previously; this kind of jihad should be entirely peaceful. The Lesser Jihad refers to conflicts and confrontations between Muslims and Non-Muslims or other Muslims, which often erupt in war, but can also be performed through non-violent protests, debate, and advocacy.

How does the Qur'an refute those who shirk jihad?

Answer 1In a sense, depending on interpretation, the Qur'an refutes those who shirk Jihad by exile or, in some extreme cases, death. In Islam, shirking is considered worse than killing. Answer 2 Shirk; that means worshiping a partner to Allah (or God in English and same God worshiped in Judaism and Christianity); is the severest sin committed by a person. Allah may forgive any sin except the sin of Shirk. Regarding Jihad, there are two types of Jihad: the minor jihad that is military Jihad and the major jihad that is self Jihad.
