Which is more difficult to achieve, the GREATER or
LESSER jihad? Why?

Grade C
All will be able to describe
the meaning of ‘greater’ and
‘lesser’ JIHAD.
![Page 24: To use the Muslim concept of Jihad to understand · misunderstand many aspects of Muslim life. Jihad is often linked to terrorists and terrorism as they misuse the concept of Jihad](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e8607ac9f895975f36e9b3f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Although jihad does not mean war, many Muslims believe that
the fight against evil and the
preservation of Islam may justify going into battle.
This is then described as Harb-al-Muqadis, which is
technically a Holy War.
![Page 25: To use the Muslim concept of Jihad to understand · misunderstand many aspects of Muslim life. Jihad is often linked to terrorists and terrorism as they misuse the concept of Jihad](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040911/5e8607ac9f895975f36e9b3f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
This is mostly a stereotype fed by the media who misunderstand many aspects of Muslim life. Jihad is often
linked to terrorists and terrorism as they misuse the concept of Jihad to justify their actions.
The idea of Jihad is often
misunderstood by non-Muslims who then see Islam as
being a violent religion, when the vast majority of
Muslims are peaceful.

War must be
authorised by a Muslim Authority!
This is called
FATWA!

A growing number of Muslims (such as the Muslim Peace Fellowship) believe that war or armed forces is NEVER the
right response.
They believe this because...
• The word Islam is Arabic for PEACE –PEACE is therefore at the heart of their faith.
• WMD and nuclear weapons cannot follow the rules of lesser Jihad as innocent people will always be killed.
• There are always other means to gain PEACE instead of war.
• Violence only leads to more violence –it increases hatred.
