Jihad and Shariah
Shariah translates to the straight path.
It is a code of ethics founded by the imams and religious leaders. Things allowed in Shariah is called halal, and things not allowed are called haram.
Jihad is the struggle to follow Shariah, and JIhad translates to struggle.
Greater Jihad is the struggle to be good, and the lesser Jihad is the struggle against evil. it is called the Greater struggle because Muhammad said that being good was "the greatest struggle"
The lesser Jihad is often misinterpreted, which can lead to severe consequences, but it means to take action against bad things happening in society.
