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."

[Quran 2:177]:
"Righteousness does not consist of turning your faces towards the East and the West. But righteous is he who believes in God, and the Last Day, and the angels, and the Scripture, and the prophets. Who gives money, though dear, to near relatives, and orphans, and the needy, and the homeless, and the beggars, and for the freeing of slaves; those who perform the prayers, and pay the obligatory charity, and fulfill their promise when they promise, and patiently persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and in the time of conflict. These are the sincere; these are the pious."
