Very nice way of expressing it.as stated before, yes a lovely religion of peace. Jihad
There are 2 types of Jihad.
1) The inner spiritual struggle within a person.
2) The outward physical struggle.
This goes on 24/7 in everyone's life.
It's just that we have a name for this condition; "Jihad".
My personal term for that state of being is "Perpetual Surrender" or, "Perpetual Reconciliation", in context to God's awareness being Superior to Our's, and Us, being Human, seem to corrupt the most basic principles, almost instantaneously. Sometimes when words have dual meanings, especially in translation, it gets confusing to others. Take the word "Fire" for instance. Some terms should be exclusive.
