The Most Misunderstood word ‘Jihad’ .. from http://smma59.wordpress.com/2009/04/03/the-most-misunderstood-word-jihad/

ISLAM MEANS PEACE. It is very unfortunate that we have reached a point where we need to clarify that jihad has nothing to do with terrorism.Being a muslim , I must say that the word “Jihad” has been misused and abused by the Dirty politicians. The more important meaning of jihad is the struggle to be good. I am muslim and I believe that jihad means struggle which should be used for the eradification for poverty, jihad should be against illiteracy and against corruption.

In islam, killing one person is considered killing many generations. So its wrong that jihad means killing innocent people. Its crystal clear that islam is a religion of peace. If any organisation, individual or group  killing innocents in the name of jihad is wrong.
There are some Muslims (hypocrites) who exploit and misuse this concept for their own political objectives. There are many non-Muslims who misunderstand it. There are some other non-Muslims who misinterpret it to discredit Islam and Muslims.
The word ‘Jihad’ is derived from the Arabic word jahd which means fatigue or from the word juhd which means effortor struggling or striving. It means show efforts in fighting against evil,bad,illitracy,terriorism.
In Holy book Quran the word Jihad repeadedly used for “jihad with the self (jihad bin nafs),” that is, making the maximum effort to keep control over negative feelings in one’s self,for instance, arrogance, jealousy, greed, revenge, anger, etc.
Jihad is not a violent concept nor a declaration of war against other religions but it is a word which says struggle to make peace and spread humanity in this world.

The word "Jihad" which is already a very known factor all over the world, and this has mostly got to do with news channels showing terrorists shouting Jihad and movies also use this jihad word......And it misunderstanding of the word has got to do...

True Mr.Anand and Rohit, I agree with your comments on JIHAD. "Jihad means "holy war." But how that word is interpreted is a matter of some debate, probably because Muhammad himself used the term in different ways. Sometimes he used jihad to...

It is imperative for us to realize the POWER held in our words! When we state something, we are DECLARING it to the Universe, empowering our words by the time spent in saying them as well as through the energy we use to convey them and any emotion or passion we direct as we state them. How often do we use words that are “contractions”? Have you ever pondered that perhaps these shortened words diminish the fact that we are stating things through means of NEGATIVE energy rather than POSITIVE? When we omit words such as “can’t” and”won’t”, even other words such as “if” from our daily speaking, we replace them with more affirming words such as CAN and WILL and WHEN….making these much more empowering to us and conveying a more positive energy and higher energy vibration. We also need to heed caution in how we declaring things or as I say CLAIM or OWN things such as illness or afflictions or disease. Try to state that we feel better or have more energy than we did as opposed to falling...

It is just a two-letter word, but not a dirty one. It is the simplest thing to say, yet we hesitate to say it. The inability to say NO can cause mental stress?we do not want to do something, yet we cannot refuse, as we always want to be good. The moment I learnt to say NO I  become happy person and now I can say NO to people without any guilt. 1. PRACTICE SAYING NO I have a photo in my office, which shows Rama looking at the golden deer that Sita is pointing at. If only Rama had said NO, he could have saved Sita and many other headaches and heartaches! Saying NO without hurting others is a skill. When my wife requested me to purchase a Toyota, I had to say NO because I already have a Honda City, and thus saved myself from the stress I could have experienced while trying to repay the loan I would have taken.  If you say no once you will get used to the word and will say it with ease and without guilt. 2. GIVE PRIORITY TO YOURSELF Think about your needs and wellbeing first. There is...

Office Etiquette or Office Manners is about conducting yourself   respectfully and courteously   in the office or workplace I have noticed that as we go from college to the real corporate world it is hard to get used to a different environment. This is for freshers because other would be knowing the thumb rules already.   Always act with honesty and   dignity Chewing   gum   and popping bubble gum in the presence of co-workers is neither cool nor dignified Never   do it whilst attending customers Wear appropriate office   attire,   for example correct footwear, not thongs (flip flops) - they are strictly casual or beachwear No exposed midriff to   display   tattoos and body piercing. Be neat, clean and as   conservative   as the business requires you to be We are put off by   smelly people.   So, be sure to shower regularly and use a suitable deodorant Do not   cough or sneeze   in anyone's direction. Use a tissue, if possible, to contain the germs and then say "Excuse me" The  ...

Do you know Walt Disney’s motto ? Never mind if you don't, but surely you'll know what all he accomplished with a simple motto; "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." Even those things that seemed totally hopeless before they are  started look relatively simple once they are done.  Every day we run into those situations. Those are the "I can't" moments. Instead of saying "I can't", ask yourself "Do I want to?"   If the answer is "No", just go ahead and say "I can't".  But if the answer is "Yes", ask yourself another question: "How can I?" Imagine what you could accomplish with a simple motto, "How can I?" - the world maybe ? who knows ??
