assalam alaikum (peace be upon you)...

so i have six names (don't ask) and one of them is JIHADa. my mom decided the "a" on the end would make it more feminine. hmmm....


JIHAD
- literally means to "struggle", striving". jihad is an arabic word that means "striving in the way of God." this striving can take a number of forms, including the daily inner struggle to be a better person.


so often misrepresented and misused...what beautiful word.

peace.
