In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explained that Jihad means struggle or effort. It can be through words, like teaching or advising others (Jihad bil-lisan), or through actions, like stopping wrongdoings. The most important jihad is through the Quran (Jihad bil-Quran). Physical fighting (Jihad fi-sabil) is a specific form of jihad, which became important after the Prophet’s migration to Madinah. The main difference is between striving with knowledge and words versus fighting.
