Jihad Isn't Always A Threat

Many consider Jihad as people who gone war for the sake of their religion or we can say too much ultranasionalism on their religion. But, the real thing isn't like that. War may be part of their duty, but they also have rules.


What Is It Really ???

Jihad, as I read from Wikipedia, is a duty to preserve Allah Din with ways exampled from Al-Quran. What they are doing is teaching people to leave all worldly desire and come back to Allah.

Jihad is applied not from ourselves, but also to evaryone close to us. It means we and anyone close work and learn together in preserving Jihad.

Is It Related To War ???

War, as I say, is part of their duty. But war in this case is fighting against our self-arrogant. Many people misunderstood these and as a result, People doing Jihad is susceptible with slander and lies. Real war only conducted if someone or a group betrays and not obeying rules. Jihad is not like terrorism.

Speaking about war, There are some rules in islamic wars. Several of the rules are :
1. No betraying
2. No slashing or cutting dead bodies
3. Never kill children, handicapped people, women
4. Burning forest isn't allowed
5. Many more rules...

So, Jihad is actually a sacred duty, but people misdefine it as people who always going to war.
