Hema asks Dr Zakir, What is the Upper Limit of Jihad?
MIWPQA-14
Questioner: Assalamu Alaikum! Dr. Zakir. My name is Hema. I’m a revert to Islam. First of all I have been in Dubai for 18 years, it’ the first time that I have heard the true meaning of Jihaad. I mean I must say most of the Muslims don’t know, I’m sorry. My question is… is there a limit an upper limit or an extent mentioned in the Qur’an that you can go to in order to fulfill your Jihaad.
Dr. Zakir: Sister MashaAllah has accepted Islam, the religion of peace & I welcome her and congratulate her.
Questioner: Thank you.
Dr. Zakir: And she agrees that she did not know the real meaning of Jihaad which she has come to know today, Alhumdulillah. She says that what is the upper limit that a person can go to fulfill the level of Jihaad. Sister the best Jihaad, the highest level is Jihaad against your own self Jihaad-fin-nafs, highest level.
And you can go to any level which Qur’an gives permission. You should not break the Shariah…whatever you can go, the highest level but within the purview of the Islamic Shariah. You can’t go outside the purview of the Islamic Shariah. So the best Jihaad is Jihaad against your own Nafs.
And for example, we have the example in the life of Muhammad SAW, Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). You have the revelations at the time which was revealed during the time of Makkah called as Makki Surahs. We have the examples of Madni Surahs. The major difference is the Makki Surahs are more talking about Emaan & strengthening etc. and the Madni Surahs how to establish the Deen. Akametein Deen. About Jihaad. We know that in Madina when the Muslims became more powerful compared to before there was war, etc. talking about Jihaad etc. talking about the KQitaal, fighting of war but the Jihaad that was done at the time of Makkah when the Mushriks of Makkah when they tortured and killed many of the Muslims there were people who could fight. Like Hazrat Hamza, may Allah be pleased with him, Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, they wanted to retaliate they were warriors but the Prophet said do Sabar….Sabar was the Jihaad. If you have the power to fight back & hit back it is good. You have the power to hit back & you are told to do Sabar and you don’t hit back that is the higher level of Jihaad.
The people wanted to say who are these people killing my brother I want to fight back, I have the power, he was called as the lion of the dessert. People used to fear him but the Prophet said you have no permission. So his Jihaad was controlling himself, Sabar. So the Jihaad keeps on changing in different times. Jihaad sister doesn’t mean only going in the battle field. That is one type of Jihaad.
And Hazrat Aisha (r.a.), the wife of the Prophet, she asked the Prophet that should we go for Jihaad? Talking about going to fight in war. Prophet said, it’s mentioned in Sahih Bhukhari Vol. no. 4, Hadith no. 2784, the Prophet said
“the best Jihaad for you is to perform a perfect Hajj”
Hajj was the best Jihaad for Hazrat Ayesha (r.a.).
Another time its mentioned in Sahih Bukhari when a person asks the Prophet that should he go for Jihaad, talking about the Qitaal, fighting. The Prophet said “do you have parents, he said yes. The best Jihad for you is to serve your parents.” …
