 وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَعَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

29.69 And those who strive in Our (cause),- We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right.

 عن جابرٍ قالَ قال رسولُ اللهِ (ص): لِقَوْمٍ قَدِمُوْا مِنَ الْجِهَادِ مَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ قَدَّمْتُمْ مِنَ الْجِهَادِ الأصْغَرِ إلى الْجِهَادِ الأكْبَرِ – قِيْلَ يَارَسُوْلَ اللهِ وَ مَا الْجِهَادِ الأكْبَرِ – قَالَ جِهَادُ النَّفْسِ (البيهقى

 Jabir reported that the messenger of Allah said to a people who returned from holy war – welcome to you all, you have come from a little fight to the greatest fight – it was questioned – O messenger of Allah, what is the greatest fight – he said fighting with your Nafs – Fighting your Self – Passion, Your Psyche – Mind
Fighting with your Spirit – your Essence in all aspects of MENTAL, SPIRITUAL, AESTHETIC – Fighting your DESIRES AND LUSTS.
