JIHAD

       Md. Abdul Mannan Yaqubi

Jihad' is an Arabic word
       Used in Bengali,
So, all of us should know
      What it means properly.

All the jealous of Islam
       Misinterpret it,
Because, they are unconscious
        Unwise and deceit.

Trying, fighting, struggling
          toiling for good action,
Are related to its meaning
           In lexicon.

In Islam, Jihad is a
            Struggle or action,
Against unjust,for the sake of
              God's satisfaction.

The fight to save nation
              Religion and state is,
True Jihad in Islam,
              The religion of peace.

The struggle against evil
             Propensities must be,
A great Jihad in
              Islamic ideology.

This Jihad keeps mind free
              From evil propensity,
And arouses good instinct
                To bring humanity.

Men lead by evil propensity
                 Is, in fact,
Comparable to the beast living
                 In the forest.

People like this nature
                In human society,
Remain engaged in
                  Destroying humanity.

Thus, quarrel and murder
          Become common matter,

And no one can enjoy peace
                    And happiness ever.

So, Jihad against the mind first
                   Is Sunna's order,
And it makes human life happy
                   Here and hereafter.

If the wave of evil thought in
                   Human mindo rises,
Jihad against mind can, of course,
                    Rejects it always.

Jihad brings goodness      Preventing all evil deeds,  

Thus, men in society get
        Happiness and peace.

Islam, the only religion
                    Of God says-
"Jihads are hylic, economic
              And knowledge base."

Islam, with a code of life,
            Is a religion,
She gives her followers
             A good situation.

To her, men irrespective of cast
              Creed and colour--
Will, of course, enjoy their rights
                Equally with pleasure.

If enemies come to abolish
                 Islam forcibly,
Then Jihad is a must for all
                  Muslims only.

The research done for the
                 Welfare of the people,
Is also a knowledge base
                 Jihad after all.

"To sacrifice wealth for the sake
                  Of the nation,
Is a financial Jihad,"
                   Says this religion.

Jihad is for the sake of
                  God, the Almighty,
Nor,  it brings devil's victory
                   In reality.

This victory must create
                The terrorist kingdom,
Then men will lose humanity
                  And social charm.

Jihad is a great worship
                 To God, the Creator,
And the man who dies in Jihad
                  Is a martyr.

The reward for martyr is,
                   Of course, paradise,
And to obtain it, every Muslim
                     Pray and tries.

The fighters of truth can be
                      Close to God easily,
For this, Muslims want to end
                     Their lives in Jihad only.
