Afghanistan : 27 December 1979 - 15 February 1989 .

Yes. Fundamentalist and traditionalist groups were the two primary groups of people who joined in the Afghan Mujahideen.

The military wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, is listed as a terrorist organization by Australian Authorities.

Hamas has facilitated no violent action against Australia or Australian citizens as its main target remains Israel. However, an enemy of peace anywhere is an enemy of the peace everywhere.

The mujahideen were Afghan resistance fighters who opposed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan between 1979 and 1989. The United States, along with other countries, provided significant support to the mujahideen through funding, military supplies, and training via the CIA's Operation Cyclone, aiming to counter Soviet influence in the region. This support helped the mujahideen ultimately force the Soviet withdrawal, but it also contributed to the rise of various militant groups, including the Taliban, in the aftermath of the conflict.

Global jihad is driven by a complex interplay of factors, including political, social, and religious grievances. Many individuals and groups perceive Western influence and intervention in Muslim-majority countries as oppressive, fueling resentment and radicalization. Additionally, ideological frameworks provided by extremist interpretations of Islam can motivate individuals to engage in violent jihad as a means of achieving perceived justice or defending their faith. Socioeconomic factors, such as poverty and lack of opportunities, also contribute to the appeal of jihadist movements.

The work of Syed Ahmed Shaheed Barevi was crucial in the period of his lifetime in reviving Islam, however the likes of Shah Waliullah and Haji Shariatullah also contributed to a vast extent in this category.

Syed Ahmed Barelvi's work took him to numerous military expeditions all over India. Before leavign for Hajj, he scouted all of India, as well as Afghanistan for people willing to take up the cause for Jihad. Upon returning, he immediately set his eyes towards the Sikh ruler of Punjab, Ranjit Singh, who had been accustomed to oppressing Muslims. The dismissal of Syed Ahmed Barelvi's ultimatum led to him defeating the Sikhs at Okara and then Hazrothe. These victories rekindled the dying embers of hope in the Muslims and united them in a singular cause of armed struggle against those who treated the Muslims with hostility.

Upon being established as an 'imam', he also ensured that the Muslims would not fight against each other and succumb to the strategy of the Sikhs', who had been exploiting the fact that Syed Ahmed Barelvi's army was made up of different communities, something they rendered 'un-Islamic'.

He further anulled any chances of fighting of fellow Muslims fighting one other when he moved his headquarters to Balakot, so as to avoid fighting with Yar Muhammad's brother and his army. Even when was betrayed and ambushed upon, he and his army fought to the very end, regardless of the consequences. The principles he believed in were very rare. He disregarded worldly luxuries and inspired all those around him to be a sincere and devout Muslim.

Another prominent leader in this period was Shah Waliullah. His works were numerous, but very decisive. According to him, the Muslims in India were deprived of a deep understanding of their religion. So, he availed himself as a role model, accessible to all those who sought help in understanding Islam. Furthermore, he also wrote 51 books, many of which were important and helped the Islamic community. For example, his account of the lives of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs was written in such a way that it was acceptable to both the Sunnis and Sh'ias. This helped in soothing the religious differences between the two.

Furthermore, Shah Waliullah translated the Qur'an into Persian, a widely spoken language in the sub-continent so that the Muslims could understand what the message of Islam really was. It was on this basis that the two sons of Shah Waliullah translated the Qur'an into Urdu, making it even more accessible.

The efforts of Shah Waliullah to unite the Muslims against the ever-offensive Marathas was also crucial in this period. Even though many nobles declined, he managed to persuade Ahmed Shah Abdali of Persia to defeat the Marathas in 1761 further prolonging the short-lived freedom Muslims had. Besides, the 'madrassa' run by Shah Waliullah was also to play a pivotal part in the live of Syed Ahmad Barelvi as it was here that he learned of the Islamic teachings and principles, under his sons.

As for Haji Shariatullah, his work was based on the Faraizi Movement. His continuous urging to Muslims to stand up for their rights led to them no longer bearing the down-trodden chains of the Hindu and British landlords. His work led to unity within the Muslims in Bengal, they now realized their rights and that they too could work for their own cause.

His work, to some extent, raised the spiritual and economic situations of these Muslims and it was he who acted as inspiration for his son, Mohsin-ud-din, who was to later further his work and establish the Muslims as a united force who helped one another, as brothers-in-arms, according to the principles of Islam.

To conclude, each and every leader played a very crucial role in their own way, however some played it better than than the others, namely, Shah Waliullah. His work in reviving Islam was spread all across the subcontinent and his work was very diverse. However, as compared to him, Haji Shariatullah's work was confined to East Bengal, and his movement died after a short life. As for Ahmed Shaheed Barelvi, his work, though essential, was met with failure. He was unsuccessful in his original goal; to establish Muslims rulers and ultimately died a noble death.

First of all, Jihad doesn't mean to kill or fight. The word Jahada means to do something as hard as you are able to. This word is used in war because if any enemy invades or attacks you, you need to resist with anything you have. Spreading of Islam started with the Messages to all parts of the world, not with attacking them. In 7th century, among countries there were two superpowers Rome and Persia. They also ones which received messages to practice and worship One God and obey His rules. Like in any period and even now, they tried to destroy this activities in order to keep their power and wealth. In fact, they declare war against any groups to carry this ideology. So, the war spread all over. Everybody thinks that they spread Islam with war but not everybody knows that Quran prohibits to enforce anybody to accept Islam. Do you think they didn't know about that in 7th - 13th century? Do you know that in the lands where Islam ruled all religions were practiced openly under the guarantee of those rulers?

After centuries, people got corrupted and they started to misuse the laws in their own personal benefits. They abandoned to practice Quran in their life. Nationalities so called Muslims remained muslims by their name only, like we see it in our times. Only dress and names remained as muslim but nothing in heart and real life.

Don't be fooled by seeing what is happening around you. Those are all corruption, ignorants, not obeying and not implementing Islam in the real life.

99% of so called muslims in the world they even don't establish prayers which automatically nullifies of being in Islam.

The words for reference. meanings (check Lane's Lexicon Dictionary):

Islam (slm) = Peace, Obedience, Health, Tranquility, Surrender to will of God.

Muslim (from the same root word, slm) = the person who does Islam (all states shown above.

Jihad (jhd) = struggle or give all power on performing something. Example, if you're studying day and night with all your strength and ability to complete your school, that's a jihad as well.

Qital (qtl) = fight, war, killing

No.

Esteshhaad (إستشهاد) or martyrdom is dying in defense of Islam.

As for Islamic concept of Jihad (جهاد), there are two types. As concerns the Greater Jihad, which is an introspective journey to conquer your internal demons and follow the Divine Laws more closely than previously, there should be no violence that derives from this jihad. 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.

Of course, many people who fight in a Lesser Jihad will die for Islam. When a person dies, he will be a Shaahed (شاهد) or martyr according to the concept of Esteshhaad. With the exception of suicide bombers, though, most "jihad-fighters" or Mujahedin (مجاهدين) do not fight with the intention of dying.

No in the second crusade.

Jihad was created by start of mankind creation. refer to question below for more information.

Hizb-ul-Mujahideen

i dont know sop awnssering

Both the Mujahideen Solidarity and freedom fighters sought to defend their nations against the Soviet Union.

Jihad is struggle to earn life requirements for yourself and family, struggle to follow religion teachings and rules, and struggle to defend yourself, your land, your family and your religion against any attacks.

Fatwa is the license and allowance to do (or say) something or not to do (or not to say).

There are certainly contexts given in the Qur'an for fighting holy wars (jihads) against Non-Muslims, usually those relate to (1) Non-Muslim groups who oppress Muslims, (2) Non-Muslim groups already in conflict with Muslims, or (3) Non-Muslim groups who do not permit Islam to spread in their lands. However, the Qur'an does not argue that all or most Non-Muslims should be violently targeted.
