With the help of the quran and hadith give the difference between jihad and terrorism?
Ismailkatongole
Jihad literally means to struggle. It can be a physical struggle, a spiritual struggle, or just a struggle to pay the bills. There is a Hadith that says the "The greatest jihadis to speak the word of truth to a tyrant."
Terrorism has no place in Islam. It is the murder and persecution of innocents, and that is strictly forbidden in Islam

Jihad, as described in the Quran, refers to a struggle or effort to strive towards self-improvement, to defend one's faith, or to promote justice and peace. It can be both an internal spiritual struggle (greater jihad) and a physical defense of Islam in the face of aggression (lesser jihad). Terrorism, on the other hand, involves the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians, causing fear and harm, which is explicitly condemned in Islam. Jihad promotes peace, while terrorism goes against the principles of Islam by causing harm to innocent people.

And that is struggle to do right and good things and protecting yourself from bad. The terrorism which is done under the name of Islam is a plan of destroying Muslims.

The West generally speaking does not generally ascribe to a State religion. As such, the targets of jihad, which may be selected based purely on faith or creed in the East, are considered to be random, civilian targets. We tend to tie the term "terrorism" to attacks and conflicts that do not occur between clearly identified military forces, but instead focus on the non-aligned, non-military personnel.
