jihad

probably the most misconceived arabic word in existence. it means to work hard and be just, despite obstacles and difficulties. it is the holy war within oneself, the struggle to be a righteous, good human who treats everyone with love and respect, despite the difficulties of everyday life. it does NOT mean blowing oneself up in the name of god. that is done by twisted lunatics who do not know what Islam really is.

in life, it is a jihad to be patient and kind when people are cruel to you.
