I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

Studying is Jihad.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"If anyone travels in a road in search of knowledge, God will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise."

What is Jihad?
Smiling in tough moments is Jihad. Keeping patience in hard times is Jihad. Struggling for good deeds is Jihad. Taking care of old parents in a loving way is Jihad. Forgiving is Jihad. Jihad is not what the media promotes, but what the Quran says, to Strive and to Struggle.

You want a real Jihad?
Smile to your parents when you come home. Pray on time. Control your tongue, your eyes, and your thoughts.
Declare your Jihad on thirteen enemies you cannot see - egosim, arrogance, conceit, selfishness, greed, lust, intolerance, anger, lying, cheating, gossiping, and slandering. If you can master and destroy them, then you will be ready to fight the enemy you can see.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"The real Jihad is to battle your own soul, to fight the evil within yourself."

If you want to live your life by a book written 1300 years ago by people who didn't know how the universe operated, go right ahead.

@FreeSpirit1 and you are a small human being who makes mistakes a lot. Find a mistake inside it, and I will accept your idea

@FreeSpirit1 There are facts regarding the universe were already mentioned in the Quran before the telescope was invented. Plus, you are criticizing following an ideology that is ancient, while you believe in democracy which is an ancient idea that was there even before the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born.
