What’s Jihad?
We,
as
humanity,
tend
to
war
with
one
another
a
great
accord.
As
is
evident
throughout
human
history,
there's
always
a
reason
to
quarrel
and
exterminate.
The
smallest
tiff
turns
into
a
blood
feud.
Some
places
may
have
something
other
places
don't
have.
A
place
may
see
others
as
a
menace
due
to
religion
or
race.
People's
differences
may
seem
improper,
inhumane
and
immoral
to
others,
needing
conditioning.
Places
may
influence
other
areas
and
are
loathed
by
those
who
would
be
in
power;
therefore,
the
leaders
turn
on
their
people,
causing
a
war
within
their
lands.
A
simple
thing
pilfered
or
caused
in
people
by
deceit
or
force
can
cause
deep
hate
in
those
who
didn't
know
better.
Sometimes,
a
race
may
need
something
desperately,
like
cobalt.
The
children
of
Congo
are
worked
to
the
bone
for
this
vital
ore
desperately
required
for
the
technologically
advanced
nations.
The
Africans
don't
know
its
worth
and
work
tirelessly
for
this
metal
for
leftovers,
literally
nothing
to
buy
a
child,
a
bag
of
meat
to
last
a
single
day!
One
day,
a
new
enmity
will
be
born
when
they
discover
what
it
does
in a smartphone or a games console. It always did...
Islam
teaches
us
not
to
fight
unless
assailed.
While
disbelievers
want
what
we
have
and
desire
to
take
it
from
us,
we
have
seen
constant
wars
waged
on
us.
We
learn
our
uncorrupted
teachings
of
the
Qur'an
and
our
beloved
Muhammad's
(pbuh)
Hadith
to
forgive
the
disbelieving
oppressors
if
they
leave
us
be
and
not
continuously
pillage,
ravish
and
butcher
us,
as
without
forgiveness,
the
hostility
will
continue
to
grow
and
fester.
Humans
are
good;
if
the
oppressor
regrets
his
crimes
and
accepts
forgiveness,
the
war
will
end.
We,
as
Muslims,
are
commanded
by
our
creator,
Allah,
in
the
Qur'an
and
the
historical
recordings
of
our
prophet
(pbuh)
to
defend
our
religion
and
homes
if
they
don't
discontinue.
If
our
hearts
are,
we
have
Allah's
mercy,
and
we
will
emerge
victorious
as
did
Muhammad
(pbuh)
in
many
wars,
with
the
probabilities
massively
stacked
against
him
and
his
Sahabah (companions)
We
only
wish
to
spread
the
word
of
Allah
peacefully
by
word,
not
with
the
sword.
They
see
many
people
welcoming
Islam
and
see
us
as
a
threat,
killing
and
invading
us
till
they
are
satisfied
with
their
unbelief.
People
never
appreciate
change
at
first,
but
the
sweetness
of
faith
in
Allah,
when
it
comes,
becomes
well
worth
the
sacrifices
made
for
it.
Currently,
with
such
terrible
things
occurring
to
the
Muslims,
suffering
war
after
war
with
far
too
many
civilian
casualties,
it
seems
that
a
mad
person
would
forgive
them.
Still,
I
do.
We
all
do,
as
long
as
they
stop
harming
us
and
accept
their
guilt
with
apology.
To
me,
they
only
continue
to
massacre
us
out
of
fear
of
what
they're
sure
of
what
we
will
avenge.
They
have
gone
too
far
for
many
of
us:
mad,
lusting
for
death
and
bloody
victory.
We,
as
Muslims,
forgive,
forbidden
to
enact
the
exact
disgusting
and
inhumane
revenge.
Islam
teaches
us
to
control
and
peace,
not
mad,
ravishing
chaos,
the
disbelievers
have
no
problem
with.
We
have
a
conscience,
an
awareness
of
Allah,
who
always
watches
and
listens
to
our
lives.
How
would
we
face
Allah
if
we
raped
a
woman
of
an
enemy?
This
is
the
most
vile
and shameless act of a Muslim!
