Jihad — bu Allohning (SWT) yo‘lida jang qilishga o‘z kuch-harakatini sarflash bo‘lib, bevosita yoki mol-mulk bilan yordam berish, fikr bilan ko‘maklashish, sonini ko‘paytirish yoki boshqa yo‘llar bilan amalga oshadi. Allohning kalimasini ulug‘lash uchun qilinadigan jangning o‘zi jihaddir. Allohning (SWT) yo‘lida gapirish orqali qilinadigan jihadga kelsak, agar bu gap bevosita jang qilish bilan bog‘liq bo‘lsa, u jihad hisoblanadi. Agar bevosita jang bilan bog‘liq bo‘lmasa, unda u shar’iy jihad emas, garchi bunda mashaqqat bo‘lsa va natijalari Allohning (SWT) kalimasini ulug‘lashga foyda bersa ham. Sababi, shar’iatda jihad jang bilan xoslangan, shuning uchun bevosita jang bilan bog‘liq bo‘lgan barcha narsa unga kiradi. Fikr va yozuv ham xuddi shunday: ular Allohning (SWT) yo‘lidagi jang bilan bevosita bog‘liq bo‘lsa, jihad hisoblanadi, masalan, lashkarni bevosita jang qilishga ruhlantiruvchi nutq yoki dushmanga qarshi kurashishga chorlovchi so‘zlar. Aks holda, bu jihad emas. Na siyosiy kurash, na hukmdorlarni tanqid qilish jihad deb ataladi, garchi ularning savobi katta va musulmonlarga foydasi ulkan bo‘lsa ham. Masala mashaqqat yoki foyda emas, balki bu so‘zning shar’iy ma’nosidadir. Shar’iy ma’no jang va unga bog‘liq bo‘lgan fikr, nutq, yozuv, strategiya va boshqa narsalardir.

Jihad is expending (one’s) effort in fighting in the way of Allah (swt) directly or assisting by wealth or opinion or increasing numbers or other than that. The fighting to raise the word of Allah is jihad. As for jihad by speaking in the path of Allah (swt), this is jihad if the speech relates directly to fighting in the way of Allah. If it does not relate directly to it, it is not Shar’i jihad even if it involves difficulty and even if the results benefit in raising the word of Allah (swt). This is because jihad in Shar’a is specific to fighting, so there enters within it everything related directly to fighting. Similar to the opinion is writing and speaking; they are jihad if they are related directly to fighting in the way of Allah (swt) like the speech to the army to encourage it to fight directly or words inciting fighting the enemies. If not, this is not (jihad). Neither political struggle nor rebuking the rulers is termed jihad though their reward is high and their benefit to the Muslims great. The issue is neither difficulty nor the benefit, but rather it is the Shar’i meaning with which it came for this word. The Shari’ah meaning is fighting and all that it relates to from opinion, speech, writing, strategy and other things.
