Re: What does fighting in the cause of Allah mean?
One, the Jihad against oneself which in Islamic idiom is called the greatest Jihad (Jihad Akbar). Two, the Jihad that is waged against Satan and satanic teachings and designs, and is called the great Jihad (Jihad Kabeer). Three, the Jihad that it waged against the enemy of freedom of conscience; this is called the lesser Jihad (Jihad Asghar). The Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has described the striving against self as Jihad Akbar. It is mentioned in the hadees that returning from an expedition (Tabuk), the Holy Prophet said:
We are returning from the Jihad Asghar (fighting) to Jihad Akbar (struggle against self). (Kashaf)
He also said:
The mujahid who is exalted above other mujahids is the one who strives against his own self.
For example, haven't you experienced that when you are praying, you may get thoughts that draw your attention away from your namaz? Now, if you try to get rid of those thoughts and concentrate on your namaz, that's a type of fight that you are doing with your own nafs to please Allah. This is just one example, but this type of 'Jehad' is called Jehad-e-Akbar according to Quran and Sunnah.
The above lies are the rumours of Coward Sufis whose only aim is to corrupt Islam by mixing satanic teachings with the deen of Allah.
Because of these losers, Muslims are being kicked out by Kuffar throughout the world.
