A Question for the Sisters

[Ghazi]

:sl:

How many of you sisters encourage your husbands/brothers to go for Jihad?

-Brag Alert!-
My significant other already does- he works with recovering addicts and alcoholics.

I never would during the present situation of world affairs. I consider Jihad to be a fantasy of terror obsessed individuals.

(Qur'an 4:95.) Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-

No offense, but if you were a mother, your perception of war would change.

There is a time and place for jihad. The reasons cited today are weak. It clearly is not the correct time for jihad. Why you may ask? We do not currently have a valid reason for jihad. Also, even if we felt that we did have a valid reason, I'm sure we would be defeated.

No they only used the combat form when and where necessary, most of the time they were doing jihad in calling others to religion, in helping their neighbours, by striving for their god (through practises) during hardship.
It's just a shame ppl today are obsessed with the violent form and imbed it in many arguments- and posts:p

The verse is relating to the muslims when they were about to fight in the way of Allaah against the enemy. So referring to what you said earlier: 'Also, even if we felt that we did have a valid reason, I'm sure we would be defeated.' Numbers doesn't mean nothing.

Victory comes from Allaah Almighty alone.

No sister if I was a true Muslimah,if I truly believed in the promise of Allah Ta'Allah I would've even rushed into Jihad myself.

Most of the history of islam was in jihad, and within the average life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) - he went on average; 2 expeditions per year (within his prophethood.)

So most of islam was spread by jihad fi sabilillah.

This is true. I don't like the thought of our peaceful religion being so obsessed with violence.
