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."

@Northwest I was born to Muslim family. Islam has always been my way of life and I know perfectly what I am talking about. The word Jihad is an Arabic word. The media does not translate it to English, which is To Strive or To Struggle, because they want to create fear in people hearts. Fear comes from the unknown, so they want to keep it unknown. I am trying to clarify the term for anyone who wants to know the truth.
