These days whenever you turn on the news, or pick up a newspaper, just about every time, you will hear something about the Muslims. Which would normally be a plus, but unfortunately that is not the case here. Anytime you hear the word Islam or Muslims you also you hear terrorist and bombings along with it. Islam is receiving a bad name all around the world. Even before these recent attacks, Non-Muslims have tried to spread the notion that Islam is not only bad for the United States, but for the rest of the world as well. But we should also remember, such attacks have been occurring since the time of the Great Prophet Muhammad (May Allah's Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him). The Kuffar (idol-worshippers) continually attempted to stop Prophet Muhammad (
Salalahu Alayhi Wasalam) from proceeding on with his Daw'ah (spread of Islam) mission.
For Allah does not love transgressors.
The Jihad that pertains to fighting the enemy is the duty of the Muslims whenever aggression comes from the enemy. This means that when the religion of Islam and the Muslim community (Ummah) is in danger, we are instructed to defend ourselves. The people who have been excommunicated from their homes or have been victimized by the enemy because of their belief in Allah, should struggle for their rights and security. Jihad does not include offensive wars to expand the empire or to convert people to Islam by way of constraint.
