Jihad

 Jihad, an Islamic term, is a religious duty
of Muslims. In Arabic, the word jihād translates as a
noun meaning "struggle". Jihad appears 41 times in
the Quran and frequently in the expression "striving
in the way of God. Jihad is an important religious
duty for Muslims. A minority among the Sunni
scholars sometimes refer to this duty as the
sixth pillar of Islam, though it occupies no such
official status.
Jihad

 There are two commonly accepted meanings of jihad: an
inner spiritual struggle and an outer physical struggle.
The "greater jihad" is the inner struggle by a believer to
fulfill his religious duties. This non-violent meaning is
stressed by both Muslim and non-Muslim authors.
 The "lesser jihad" is the physical struggle against the
enemies of Islam. This physical struggle can take a violent
form or a non-violent form. The proponents of the violent
form translate jihad as "holy war", although some scholars
disagree. The Dictionary of Islam agrees that jihad has a
military meaning in the large majority of cases. Some
scholars maintain non-violent ways to struggle against
the enemies of Islam.
