Arabic for "struggle." In Islam, it could be any form of struggle. It could be as simple as getting out of bed, or it could be as complex as saving a loved one from death. It does not mean to fight against all those who do not believe in Islam. It simply means to conquer over any struggle a Muslim may have.
The Jihad for Ameer today was to help his friend with something he could not do himself. With his knowledge and expertise, Ameer found his friend a man who could solve his problem, thus his Jihad for that day was solved.

Jihad in Islam means "struggle" either struggle of being a good muslim i.e not drinking or having pre marital sex or jihad as in 'holy war' IF and only IF non muslims are out to murder muslims and destroy Islamic beliefs. Then it is permissable in Islam to do holy war...
A muslim country living a peaceful life and if the enemies come to disturb the Islam religion(murder, enforcing their religion and beliefs) and peace can they fight and do Jihad
