Strategy of Jihad

The strategy of jihad, in a general context, refers to a broad struggle or effort to uphold and promote Islamic principles. It encompasses both personal and communal aspects. Jihad can manifest as an inner spiritual struggle against sin (the greater jihad) or as actions to defend and advocate for the Muslim community (the lesser jihad). While often misunderstood as solely associated with violence, many Muslims view jihad primarily as a quest for justice, peace, and the betterment of society, emphasizing education, ethical behavior, and moral responsibility in their pursuit.
