"The objective of genuine jihad is to achieve an agreement between Islam (accommodation), Iman (confidence), and Ihsan (upright living)."
The Sufic/established perspective orders "Jihad" into two;
1) The More prominent Jihad - the battle against one's sense of self or self (nafs).
2) The Lesser Jihad - the outside, physical exertion, regularly suggesting battling.
Prophet Muhammad Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam put the accentuation on the "more prominent Jihad" by saying that;
"Heavenly is the warrior who is at war with himself".
In this sense outside wars and strife are seen yet a sinister fake of the genuine "jihad" which must be battled and won inside of; no other Salvation existing can spare man without the endeavors of the man himself being added to the work included of self-refinement. In this sense it is the western perspective of the Blessed Vessel which comes nearest to the Sufic perfect; for to the Sufis Flawlessness is the Chalice; and the Heavenly Chalice is for the individuals who after they get to be immaculate by giving all they have to the poor then go ahead to end up "Abdal" or "changed ones" like Enoch who was "taken" by God in light of the fact that he "strolled with God". (Genesis:5:24) here the "Sacred Ones" pick up the surname "Hadrat" or "The Vicinity".
*** Que: How might we be able to pick up Jihad in our ordinary life? ***
Umar ibn al-Khattab, a sidekick of the Prophet Mohammad Sallallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam, said: The blessed messenger Gabriel gets some information about crucial components of the Islamic conviction from Rasool Allah (Sallallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam). He (Sallallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) answered that they are Islam, Iman, and Ihsan.
1) Islam (accommodation) - is the outward routine of the religion. The Imams of Sharia or 'consecrated law' taught at the level of Islam.
2) Iman (confidence) - is the faith in the concealed and what the prophets have educated us of. The Imams of Aqida or 'precepts of confidence' taught Iman.
3) Ihsan (exemplary living) - is to revere Allah as if one sees him The Imams of Sufism taught at the level of Ihsan.
Per the aforementioned hadith by Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), Rasool Allah SAW instructed us to tail him and increase fellowship among our self and also with the individuals outside Islam.
"The objective of genuine jihad is to accomplish an agreement between Islam (accommodation), Iman (confidence), and Ihsan (exemplary living)."
The medieval Islamic researcher Yahya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi expressed about Jihad -
"one of the aggregate obligations of the group in general (fard kifaya) is to hotel a substantial dissent, to tackle issues of religion, to have information of Heavenly Law, to order what is correct and restrict wrong direct".
