Jihad means struggle in the way of Almighty Allah (God). It can be waged only to keep peace in society. Doing good to others, worshiping Allah Almighty, controlling one's bad intentions, avoiding injustice are all different kinds of Jihad. Fight against evil and laying one's life for noble cause, defending one's faith, family, country are physical kinds of Jihad.

Muhammad did not proclaim jihad as a singular event; rather, the concept evolved during his life, particularly during the early years of his prophethood in the 7th century. The term "jihad" broadly refers to striving or struggling in the way of God, which encompasses both personal spiritual efforts and, in some contexts, armed struggle.

What is the ''lesser jihad''?

Jihad, that means in English striving or struggleing, is of two types:self Jihad (or oneself struggle and is called the greatest or greater Jihad), andmilitary Jihad (or struggle with others and is called the smallest or lesser Jihad)Regarding lesser (or Military ) Jihad, it is licit only in two cases:First: to defend home land and home people against any invaders.Second: to provide help and support to other people who are oppressed and unable to practice their own will and freedom of choice.Self Jihad is that any Muslim should practice Jihad or self struggle to avoid doing wrong deeds and/or committing sins that are forbidden by Islam and by his community. It is also doing good things that Allah wants you to do, such as following the morals of Quran and prophet Muhammad (PBUH), reciting the Quran, helping the poor, striving to fulfil your family requirements, learning and studying useful sciences and arts, etc.In both cases, Muslims (as in all other faiths) are commanded, by their religion, to be fair and just. They are forbidden; by Quran and prophet Muhammad teachings; to kill a woman, child, or an old man or any civilian. They are commanded not to be excessive in using force and not to terrify civilians. They are forbidden from spoiling the nature, cutting a tree, or polluting/poisoning air or water.
