Greater Jihad Is Building Better Societies Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Greater Jihad Is Building Better Societies



deceivers liars Prophet Muhammad never declared
jihad as holy war jihad is not Muslim killing Muslim
Prophet Muhammad said a religious duty of Muslims
was Jihad a 'struggle' against denying Allah atheists;
brother Muslims Sunni and Shi'a both worship Allah
Muhammad encouraged Jihad against non-believers
neither Sunni nor Shi'a renounced their belief in Islam
neither committed apostasy or sinned against Allah;

Jihad means 'to struggle in the way of Allah'
'lesser jihad' is the physical struggle against
enemies of Islam it can honour be non-violent...

'greater jihad' is an inner struggle by a believer
to fulfill his religious duties the struggle to build
a good society based upon faith righteous justice...
