Military action is therefore only one means of jihad, and is very rare.

• Jihad is not a violent concept.
• Jihad is not a declaration of war against other religions. It is worth noting that the Holy Qur'an specifically refers to Jews and Christians as "people of the book" who should be protected and respected. All three faiths worship the same God. Allah is just the Arabic word for God, and is used by Christian and Jewish Arabs, Hausa Christians as well as Muslims.
• Warfare in the name of God is not unique to Islam. Other faiths ( Christianity Crusades, Judaism e.t.c) throughout the world have waged wars with religious justifications

11.THE CONCEPT OF JIHAD

Most non-muslims think Jihad is all about fighting and war. But this is false.

Jihad actually means struggle or resisting. It can refer to internal as well as external efforts to be a good Muslims or believer, as well as working to inform people about the faith of Islam.

The word Jihad appears frequently in the Quran often in the idiomatic expression "striving in the way of God (al-jihad fi sabil Allah)

In the hadith, it is stated that:

"The best Jihad is the word of Justice in front of the oppressive Sultan [ruler]." (cited by Ibn Nuhaas and narrated by Ibn Habbaan)
"It has also been reported that Muhammad considered performing hajj to be the best jihad for Muslim women"

If military jihad is required to protect the faith against others, it can be performed using anything from legal, diplomatic and economic to political means. If there is no peaceful alternative, Islam then allows war, but there are strict rules of engagement. Innocents - such as women, children, or invalids - must never be harmed, and any peaceful overtures from the enemy must be accepted.

The Holy Qur'an:

Allah said in Surah An-Nisa', Verse 29: It means: O you who believe! Do not consume your property among yourselves unlawfully, except that it is trading by your mutual consent; and do not kill yourselves; surely Allah is Merciful to you.

Allah said in Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 84: It means: And when We made a covenant with you: You shall not shed your blood and you shall not turn your people out of your cities; then you gave a promise while you witnessed.

In the Hadith

From the route of Abu Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: The one who (legitimizes) killing himself with a piece of iron shall be holding it in his hand stabbing himself in the abdomen while he is in Hellfire where he will dwell forever. The one who (legitimizes) killing himself with poison shall be holding his poison in his hand in Hellfire sipping it in Hellfire where he will dwell forever. The one who (legitimizes) killing himself by jumping from a mountain shall be jumping in Hellfire where he will dwell forever.

12. SUICIDE BOMBERS WILL BE REWARDED 72 VIRGINS IN THE HEREAFTER

Committing Suicide is An Abhorrent Enormous Sin and a Path to Hellfire and the 72 virgins myth is Da'if. The life of the individual in this world is, in principal, needed for successfully achieving the Hereafter as a winner; a matter accomplished through properly knowing the Creator and worshiping Him as He ordered and as per the teachings His Prophets conveyed from Him.

The prohibition of killing oneself and unrightfully killing another soul is evident in the Qur'an, the sayings of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, and the unanimous agreement of the reputable scholars and the nation. Both judgments are illucidated in the Qur'anic Verses and the Hadiths (sayings of the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam) shown below:

INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAIHI RAJI'UN.

May Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings
and grant him Jannatul Frdaus, ameen.

None of us know how or when we would
depart this temporary abode; we should
strive to do good always so that when our
time's up, Allah may make it easy for u

I want a husband/wife who will get mad at
me when I miss a prayer.

I want a husband/wife who will pour cold
water on me when I don't get up for Fajr
Salah.

I want a husband/wife who will draw me
closer to Allah, who will get upset when I lie,
and do bad things and anything wrong.

I want a husband/wife who will call me after
every Maghrib Salah to read Qur'an together.

I want a husband/wife who will wake me up
in the middle of the night for us to pray
together and ask forgiveness from Allah.
In'Shaa'Allah ..

Ameen

SSGUniport:
DMainMan because you've been paid doesn't mean everyone has been paid. And so you know i'm a full PTDF scholar not PRESSID before you'll say i'm not a PTDF scholar. I know at least 10 scholars (Kamal, Victor, Kene, Gundu, Kimberly, Paul, Yusuf, Salisu, Indongesit etc) who haven't been paid, and it's not funny anymore.
Do you know how difficult it is to attend lectures, read and concentrate on empty stomach, coupled with unpaid rents, and at the same time you're expected to get good grades.

Mr. Dmainman don't tell me you've not seen people complaining about Maintenance fees on our Facebook page created by you!!!.

ehen. I didnt know many were affected lyk dis o. May God help us all

Zionplace:
Hello guys.
The author constructed this to blackmail the FG against the forthcoming election considering this time to be critical, tuition fee is paid in batch and I tell you some already have theirs paid and many of us have got reply that the next payment batch is in process.
As regards feeding allowances, it is true that a reformation was done by assigning PTDF to some scholars and others to TETFUND. Those on TETFUND should not be expecting any allowances at this time because they were already paid half of the whole allowances last year September which means they are not expected to be suffering at all at this time even till march (mid-year).
As for those under PTDF, payment is made quarterly, of a truth, some of us got the first quarter last year Sept and others have been promised to be paid as soon as possible. If this author's nephew falls on this category. I understand his feelings but not to this extent of coming here to act like the uncle knowing fully well this could negatively impart the FG. PLEASE NOTE: It was just a day before this post that PTDF paid some (not all) their allowance, I confirmed this from the PTDF sponsored students in my department, this is just a proof that he is holding on PRESSID for implication, these payments are done in batches.....

Nyx 1.

PTDF has paid us o. I guess he is isnt a PTDF Scholar.

@barrdiep, are u sure PRESSID/NUC has settled PTDF money. And payment is in batches too.

Dont abuse PTDF o cos we have even been giving advance allowance.

.

Let us all talk without any hurting and abusive words.

ALLAH knows best.

But I heard in one Muslim forum I joined dat using Tesbah is a wicked innovation. I couldnt even talk again.

Mehn, d thing is getting out of hand o. I wonder ao new muslims will be able to cope with dis ideology.

Islam is Peace and there is no Extremism in Islam. I myself beleive Maolud is Bida'h and preach against it. But u guys are making Islam look scary.

Wat I am even angry with is dat wen a non-muslim does something wrong, de wont even talk and preach about it, but if it were to b dere fellow muslims, de wil b speaking abusive words and dat is when their courage will come.

We are all One. No more argument again please.

May ALLAH forgive our sins. Amin.

Cont'd...

If you follow what’s happening in other places
you will appreciate the need to educate the
masses and encourage Muslims who have
succumbed to various types of pressure to
abandon what they believe is a duty or who
haven’t built the courage to adopt it yet etc
etc.

Those who call it a celebration, have failed to
see the light. Bid’ah is the last word to be used
because it doesn’t fall under any category of
acts of worship. It is merely a “means” of
educating, so the time and duration can be
worked out according to the convenience of all
parties to create the biggest impact. Such as a
school’s timings and duration of lessons and
number of pupils in the class and and and.
No celebration or partying.

No dancing.
No food and drink.
No sweets and chocolates.
No extra Qur’aan or prayers.
No acts of worship.
Only educating and awareness.
Street dawah tables at malls and stalls and flea markets every weekend have the same concept but on a smaller scale.

May Allah Almighty grant us a deep
understanding.

IS WORLD HIJAB DAY BIDA'H

Answered by Mufti Ismail Menk: NO

We cannot base global ideas only on our own
situation. We must deeply consider what is
happening to others too. Hijab is being banned
in a growing number of places. People are
misinformed regarding hijab. Democracies may soon vote to ban it based on majority view.

This had happened in some places. We need to educate them. If we don’t educate them we will be guilty of allowing misconceptions to grow without doing anything meaningful to educate and create positive awareness.

We can ask them to enroll to a one day school
can’t we? We can ask them to attend a seminaronce a year can’t we? We can ask them to distribute pamphlets can’t we? We can ask them to try it out and see how they feel can’t we?

There is no special salaah or thikr or ibaadah
but merely a one day school where pamphlets
are distributed, tables are set for street dawah
and people have the chance to clear their
misconceptions first hand and have a feel of
the hijab first hand.

FROM A MODEL TO AN HIJABI

I was a playboy model, a playboy bunny, and
winner of FHM Malaysia’s most wanted woman 2013

But I left all my glitz and glamour modeling life
for my hijab. Because through my hijab, I found
that I am more than just my body, my vital
stats, or sexy poses in the magazines…

But most importantly, I found peace and Islam.

By Juliana (MN, USA)

I actually wear hijab in secret. I am Christian
and Cherokee from Minneapolis, MN and it is
not widely accepted here. It is unlikely to
receive support from friends and some family.
Therefore, I only wear hijab when I know I will
not run into them.

I feel so much more comfortable covering up.
Hijab has been speaking to me for a long time
and World Hijab Day is the first day I will
proudly wear hijab in front of friends and family.

I am hoping I can find the courage to continue
wearing hijab happily and proudly for many
days to come after. It is hard without support,
but I think I have found truth in hijab.

I am such a better person when I am wearing
it. I am constantly reminded to pray and be
kind. I hope this day can help someone else
find the joys of hijab as I am finding now.

By Shahina Bint Islam ( Birmingham, UK)

I’ve always known hijab to be an obligation
and an Islamic duty for Muslim women. Yet,
never felt confident enough to observe it as I
thought I was not ‘ready’. However, I loved and
envied sisters who covered themselves,
Masha’allah, they had a strength and
humbleness that I didn’t possess.

I started reading the Qur’an properly (English
Translation and Arabic Tajweed) and started
questioning life and death. Also, started
attending Islamic lectures, finally started
praying five times a day, without missing Fajr
(dawn prayer).

Hijab, one more part of wardrobe we wear more than other women.

I started with this modest way of dressing
during my teenage years (the period of our life
when we recognize our ideals). Back then I felt
brave because of hijab. It kind of made me be
more aware of the world and the people around me.

It really gave me some power and confidence
because the idea of hijab is like some self-help
book, which provides you with lot of ‘must do’
in order to become better!

Now, the people who do not like the idea of
wearing a head-scarf cannot imagine me
without it. They like me more this way. I
wanted to tell my story about how my hijab
affects me and the people in my life. They love
it. So I am sure I am doing the right thing.

By Na’ilah (Japan)

I was born Muslim but never worn Hijab as my
parents never asked me to wear it. Also, my
mother wasn’t wearing it either, so I used that
as my excuse for not wearing it.
I always had this weak desire to wear Hijab. I
was not even sure if I was ready for it. I thought

I’m young, pretty (lol) and loved fashion a lot
and thought the style of Hijab would make me
look boring. I always envisioned Hijabs to be
triangular in shape and it gets pinned by the
chin with a safety pin and on the body, wear
only Abaya (a full-length outer garment). That
was the image in my head.

Nonetheless, things changed on June of 2013.
I was completely depressed, unhappy with my
own life and with myself. Nothing made me
happy. I came to the conclusion that I needed
to turn myself back to Allah Almighty to have
blessing and a peace of mind.

To show commitment to Allah (SWT) I chose to
wear Hijab, however, I was strongly encouraged by my mother because she started wearing hijab too, Alhamdulillah!

By Sarah (Australia)

Coming from the country side in Australia, I was never exposed to Islam. I knew nothing aboutit. I thought of it as an oppressive religion, whenever I heard about it. It wasn’t until I went to Malaysia, that God guided me in ways I never expected, Subhan’Allah.

I learned that Muslim women also have rights,
which were legally given even before the West
did. Meeting impressive women like Sisters in
Islam and Marina Mahathir, also inspired me to
divulge into Islam more. I found that I could
have a career and be a Muslim. However, it
wasn’t until a year later, I reverted,
Alhamdulillah.

Islam is a beautiful way of life to praise and
worship Allah as One God every single day.
While it is not easy to explain to friends and
family, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I did a
lot of research and interviewed many Muslim
and even non-Muslim women on why women
choose to cover up. I also learned a lot from
my Imam and his wife, who taught me it is for
women to be recognized more for their
intelligence, not be as exposed, to this
sometimes, overly sexual world and to keep
your beauty for your husband.

Read the below inspirational stories of some women around word on being a Hijabi:

World Hijab Day is not a celebration. It is not a
festival. It is an awareness drive aimed at
educating, encouraging and breaking down
barriers as to what "hijab" is all about.

-This awareness drive gives the opportunity to
those who have yet to build the courage and
give the much-needed push to take that
significant first step. It also provides a platform to those who are misinformed and have misconceptions about the hijab to clear their doubts and seek clarification.

-For those who are inquisitive as to what the
hijab is all about, this awareness drive will
hopefully allow you to get a firsthand feel of it."

WorldHijabDay is a day we set aside to
educate and share with non muslim & muslim
hijabis the experience of wearing a traditional
scarf the islamic way for one day... Muslims
women wear these scarves/ veil to cover their
hair and necks when in presences of most
males.

There are many misconceptions about
Muslim and their culture. Displays of modesty
and devotion are often mistaken for cultural
oppression or extremism.

Its a challenge to learn something new and
different. We really aim to combat the ignorance & negative associations; by showing the world the true essence of Hijab and positive side of it.
