wassalamu3alikum wara7matuAllahi wabarakatuhu Will some one explain me I have difficulty understanding please. In quran more than one place it says. JIHAD IS KILLING AND BEING KILLED.:p:p:p Does Jihad Nafs means killing ourself???? ALSO I SEE THESE DAYS QUITE FEW MUSLIMS SING THE SONGS OF JIHAD NAFS ALONG SIDE THE DISBELEAVES. IF ONE PAY GOOD ATTENTION TO THE HADEETH NARATED BY SYYIDNA JAFAR ASSADIQ OUR PROPHET HAD TOLD ABOUT JIHAD ANNAFS=JIHAD ALKUBRA TO THOSE WHO FINISHED JIHAD SUGRA AND WERE RETURNING. THIS TOTALY MEANS TO ME THAT THE ONE WHO DID NOT FINISH JIHAD SUGRA CANNOT EVEN REACH JIHAD SUGRA. WHICH IS CLEARLY EVIDENT FROM QURAN IN SURAT TAUBA AND SURAT MO7HAMMAD PEACE BE ON TO HIM. WALLAHU 3ALIM.
