Definition of Jihad according to Maulana

Maulana, agla sawal aaya hai Mr. Waseem Qureshi ka Delhi se. unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana sahib, I just want to know what is the right definition of jahad according to you?" jahad ka matlab hai koshish. jahad ka matlab hai struggle bas aur kuch nahin. jahad ka matlab qitaal nahin hai. jo is ko kahe qitaal, woh sarkashi karta hai. yaani kisi bhi achhe kaam ke liye jo koshish karte hain, wahi jahad hai. ladna bhidna ek alag cheez hai, is ka jahad se koi taalluq nahin hai. main ek hi ayat aap ko bataoon, jaa ke Quran mein jaa ke parhiye aap Surah Furqan mein: "Wajahidhum bihi jahadan kabeera." bihi ka matlab bil Quran.

"Wajahidhum bil Quran jahadan kabeera." yaani Quran ke zariye jahad karo, jahad-e-kabeer. to aap jaante hain Quran jo hai koi koi talwar to nahin, bandook to nahin, bomb nahin. to Quran ke zariye jahad ka matlab kya hoga? yaani peaceful koshish. yeh baat matlab banegi. to jahad ka matlab hai kisi achhe kaam ke liye peaceful struggle. yahi jahad hai.

jahad ke matlab har giz har giz qitaal nahin hain. jahad ke matlab koshishein hain. to jahad ka matlab hai kisi achhe kaam ke liye peaceful koshish karna. bas isi ka naam jahad hai. meri ek kitaab hai: "True Jahad." is ko aap parh lijiye. "True Jahad" mein yeh baatein aap paa sakte hain. is ke ilawa meri ek kitaab chhapi hai: "Yaani Prophet of Peace." is mein bhi aap yeh baatein paa sakte hain. Maulana, agla sawal ek school student ka aaya hai jinka naam hai Bilal Pradhan. unhon ne poocha hai aap se ke: "How can we get paradise?" is ke bare mein bataein.
