RE: JIHAD | A Journey Towards Nirvana | Episode 4
Do not misguide people about critical subjects such as JIHAD, JIHAD is a complete philosophy in ISLAM which covers every aspect of life, JIHAD means to "struggle for something", "struggling for your cause" gives it a very generic meaning encompassing the whole life.
Don't write stereotype stuff about which you don't completely know. Don't attach a "philosophy" to some "specific brand of people", one can expect such things from illiterates, you are a literate, you can atleast search about and read about fundamentals of these things and then could build your opinions upon the subject.
You have no right to judge a "misunderstood topic" and then "promote" more 'misunderstanding' about that 'topic'.
Write about Satti, Caste and Creed system, Racism, rights of minorities and other topics in your mind relevant to your own society.
This is JIHAD what general Muslim public beleives in
Sir, you are absolutely right over the real philosophy over "Jihad" . Please keep reading the story and i am sure that you will agree with me in the end. I respect your opinion but i would also request you to please let the story reach the climax. After that you can conclude the spirit of the story. All religion spread word of humanity and i follow all of them with same respect and spirit.
Illiteracy, poverty and sometimes helplessness push people towards violence. I respect your opinion and i would request you to please have some patience and let me conclude it in the way i saw it while thinking about terrorism and violence.
Thank you for your comment and i shall appreciate them in future. @kay-khosa
you are correct in what you say. "Illiteracy, poverty and sometimes helplessness push people towards violence".... Very true, @honeychum :)
what i understand (my understanding may be wrong) is that writer has shown two extremes, one extreme is JIHAD and other extreme is NIRVANA, he is trying to show the transformation of a boy (Shoaib) from state of JIHAD (according to topic very sinister thing----one extreme ) to state of NIRVANA(extreme pure state of being).
So i dont agree, terrorism, violence, anarchy, HARB, QITAAL is something entirely else from being called a JIHAD. JIHAD is actually opposite of all these things, inner struggle of a being to resist such urges.
I am sorry @honeychum i ruined your post, but this matters to me and billions of people. I brother lives in UK, people build their opinions about which they dont understand and common people (Muslims) suffer because of that. It is not about muslims only, it encompses other religions as well.
the literal meaning of "Jihad" is "crusade" or "battle" ! We all know this. The battle can be internal against inner demons. It can be external against perceived external enemies. And it can be distorted as it is in fanaticism and terrorism. The writer, @honeychum, is talking about how the basics or faith and crusade are distorted by the selfish and fed to the needy and vulnerable. And the world has been brainwashed like this. There are many parts to the story, @kay-khosa . And these parts will deal with many aspects. Savour the story first :)
you seem very certain about everything @nehab , "Heresay is inadmissible as an evidence in courts".
If you find some time then do check this link out and correct yourself about things of which you don't have experience/Knowledge.

"Certain" like you, @kay-khosa? ))))))
i am the part of that culture, was born in it, brought up in that environment. being certain on those accounts should be normal i think @nehab
Sir, why are you so confused about reality and fiction. A story is a story and it take turns based on will and intellect of a person. Mingling a story with reality is not a right approach.Principles of Life are based on individuals Philosophy and awareness towards society.
Reaching to a conclusion midway is never right and can never be admired.
@kay-khosa The major point here is only to be open minded, a story always has different scenes and aspects before it reaches to a conclusion, and secondly it's just a story mate... :) PEACE...
Sir , words are out of control and so is the soul. Who can destroy soul? Have patience and let me conclude the story. :)
Sir, i do not have any religion or society but yes all religion and societies are my life.
mine too :)
