Jihad movement

The jihad movement refers to efforts motivated by Islamic teachings to promote spiritual growth, social justice, and community development. The term "jihad" means "struggle" and can involve personal efforts to improve oneself or collective efforts to address societal issues. While some interpret jihad as a peaceful pursuit of righteousness, others have associated it with violent extremism due to misappropriation by radical groups. Overall, the movement embodies a range of activities aimed at strengthening faith and implementing Islamic principles, emphasizing both inner moral struggle and, in some contexts, social activism or defense.
