One Ummah

"Jihad"

Almost every muslim knows this , and it's the first word nonbelievers think about when it comes to Islam.

I'm just going to explain a little on this topic to benefit non-muslims and muslims.

So Jihad is an Arabic word which comes from جحد which means "strive, struggle, labor, or even fatigue". Basically meaning the inner struggle. Like for instance if someone wants to quit smoking and sincerely tries to for the sake of God then that my friends is Jihad. Inner struggle. Also means any struggle a Muslim faces but turns to God for help. That is a struggle. A war-like term would be like causing to fight for the sake of God FOR PEACE.

Standing up to the oppressors as well.

I know there are a lot of misconceptions mainly that

"Muslims are terrorist." I cannot believe how irrational, unbelievable these people are, so ironic.

It's sad that the media spreads these misconceptions and everyone believes it rather they are the ones who oppress the innocent.

But I'll start with what Islam says about fighting and then actually tell you what the world is like in a nutshell.

So in Islam (Islam the root word means peace or purity) , a "muslim" is someone who submits their will to God. Technically this is peace.

A lot of media will bring verses from the quran like -

Chapter 2 Verse 191

Chapter 9 Verse 5

(You can check these out)

But basically they are all out of context, like delivered to the prophet at certain times during war (Saudi Arabia was a hostile place before Islam, and later brought peace). In the quran there are many ayahs which say " Verily Allah does not love those who trangress" and if you read Chapter 5 Verse 32 it says if you kill an innocent person like murder it is as if he killed the whole humanity.

These verses were revealed during war. Sometimes when you want to have peace others resist. And usually after every verse says something like that, comes an ayah of peace , " if the enemy desires peace" accept! Not only that the Quran says to offer a place of security. Not just let them go, take care of them like an ally.

A muslim should always accept peace. Immediately.

Also going back to terrorism. All these muslim countries are controlled except Gaza.

Muslims suffer and are harassed every around the world....why?

BECAUSE THEY'RE TERRORIST?!

Talk about irony.

When the media shows muslims its not showing the regular communities its showing the black parts of the community like they only show one side.

There are 1.6 billion muslims, the second largest religion in the world, you think every single one of them is a terrorist?

No. Many people enter Islam every day, the fastest growing religion, why?

Because it's the truth!

The Quran passes all the tests of history and corrections versus all the other books.

Don't believe in books? Well the Quran was revealed 1400 years ago to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a desert terrain, Saudi Arabia.

Where the Quran passes all the science and basically logical tests.

80% of the (scientific facts) in Quran is proven 100% correct. While only 20% remains ambiguous meaning science has not gotten far enough to reach whether for example if there is life after death. It can't prove there is or isn't.

Logically if something is 80% correct while the 20% remains ambiguous going by the theory of probability (correct me if I'm wrong) then LOGICALLY you would believe it.

But I'm addressing to the LOGICAL thinkers out there.

Just going a little off topic,

But anyways, in Islam muslims are supposed to be good, like they're aim and only aim is to please Allah and by doing so they are kind, considerate, and PEACEFUL.

Islam is a religion of peace, past or present.

The Quran teaches beautiful role models, stories of the prophets who are the most pious and peaceful people ever to walk on this Earth.

Never having any unlawful drinks ,marriages, or was chasing wealth.

Their only aim in life was to worship and spread the message of one God because lets face it, naturally a human being wants to rely on authority, since they were born.

I know every muslim is not perfect so look at Islam instead of Muslims.

Islam was sent down as whole to humanity from the beginning of day one. To bring the true message of the oneness of God (Allah), peace, AND logic to the human mind and heart.

May Allah guide us all.
