THE FIRST FORM OF JIHAAD
Submitted by Mohammed Gilani on
The first form of Jihaad is to change one’s life, give up adultery,
people are frequenting porn websites, going to nightclubs and
at the same time they want to participate in Jihaad. When Ali Radiyallahu anhu had the upper hand over a Kaafir on the occasion of a certain
battle, the Kaafir spat on the face of Ali Radiyallahu anhu , yet Ali Radiyallahu anhu had total
control of his anger and his Islaah was completed to such an
extent that Ali Radiyallahu anhu let him free. He knew that he will not be
killing the Kaafir for the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala rather he will be
killing him for his personal gain and egos.
The word Jihaad was not used by Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wasallam for thirteen
years in Makkah Sharif as it was a time of making the Islaah of
Sahaaba, making effort and building the Imaan and Akhlaaq of
the Sahaaba . When they had reached Madinah
Munawwarah then only did the battle of Badr take place.
