Miten suuri osuus Muhammedin elämäkerrasta on omistettu jihadille?
Jihad () is an Islamic term referring to the religious duty of Muslims to maintain the religion. In Arabic, the word "jihād" is a noun meaning "to strive, to apply oneself, to struggle, to persevere". A person engaged in jihad is called a "mujahid", the plural of which is "mujahideen" (). The word "jihad" appears frequently in the Quran, often in the idiomatic expression "striving in the way of God "(al-jihad fi sabil Allah)"", to refer to the act of striving to serve the purposes of God on this earth. According to the classical Sharia law manual of Shafi'i, Reliance of the Traveller, Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion. Jihad is sometimes referred to as the sixth pillar of Islam, though it occupies no such official status. In Twelver Shi'a Islam, however, jihad is one of the ten Practices of the Religion.
