* Islam's view towards the war:

Islam is a religion which comes to organize the life of the whole human beings, not angels.

Human beings; with their good instincts and evil desires. Islam was not an imaginary idea which asks people to be like angels. It does not ask the people to keep silent and still towards the aggression, or to give the left cheek to be hit after hitting the right one. This is not practical and against human instinct.

Islam is not like those who practiced the most terrific acts and commit crimes under the name of freedom, peace, love and brother had.

Islam was and is still, real and logical in its vision towards the societies with their disputes and psychologies which lead to wars and conflicts. Islam has dealt with was as a matter emerges naturally because of instinctive desires which can not be denied.

Islam made wars as a means against aggression and bad greedy people. Islam confessed wars because Allah the Almighty know that it comes out from the nature of people and their conflicts which may lead to aggression and conflicts which arise when people want to defend their liberty and freedom.

Islam is a practical doctrine which does not neglect the realist. It does not confess wars as a means of aggression, but a means of defense and struggle and removing obstacles against the good. If Islam does not confess wars, the evil – doing will spread and destroy everything and Islam will be stopped and finished. "Had Allah not repelled one people by means of another, these would have been destroyed cloisters, monasteries, temples, and mosques, in which the Name of Allah is mentioned a lot ".(Surah 22 – 40)

Islam made Jihad to with stand these dangers and evil – doings which, without Jihad will spread and seize control on all the word wars used to be for aggression and Seizing control on others Now, it can be fare liberating people and spreading justice and peace.

The reality of Jihad for those who see it as wrong or those who deny it:

There is a big difference between the conception of Jihad in Islam and its concept for some people who mislead it deliberately or because for fanaticism and anger. The result is the same it leads to introducing Islam and Jihad wrongly.

It is necessary to make it clear to all people that Jihad is a duty which is for the good of all humanity.

The reality of Jihad

The is no nation which can do without Jihad our prophet (PBUH) said " Jihad is continuous since Allah has sent till my people Fight Al – Dajal at the end of the time " As long as Jihad is a fact till the Here after, it is our duty to make it clear to let people know its aims and reality as it has noble aims and regulations and wise reasons which lead to the great reward "Paradise" we will deal with its meaning through these points.

First:  Jihad has different meanings.

It is unfair and offensive to confine the meaning of "Jihad" for the sake of Allah to practicing killing against enemies – The meaning of "Jihad" is more than hat and has an overall view and practicing killing against the enemies of Islam is a part and a parcel of it. As we disagree with those who give the meaning of "Jihad" without considering the struggle and fight against the enemies.

We also disagree with those who confine it to fighting enemies as being the meaning of it. It we consider the word "Jihad" linguistically and from the view point of Islamic Jurisprudence, we will stand on its different aspects and various meanings.

"Jihad" in Arabic is derived from a word which means "effort and struggle . It is a superlative which denotes exerting too much effort to make the war of Allah superior which leads you to the paradise on the last Day. It means also exerting effort to establish the Islamic society. Spending money on "Jihad" is one its kinds.
