Struggle (Jihad)
1 . Whoever makes an effort to strive in obedience to Allah and His messenger, his soul shall be safe and sound [from the torments of the Hereafter] and his transaction will be profitable and gainful.
1 ـ إنَّ مَنْ بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ في طاعَةِ اللّهِ ورَسُولِِهِ كانَتْ نَفْسُهُ ناجِيَةً سالِمَةً، وَصَفْقَتُهُ رابِحَةً غانِمَةً
2 . The first thing which you overcome through Jihād is through striving with your hands, then [if this is not possible] by your tongue, then [if this is not possible] with your hearts; and the one who neither supports good with his heart nor censures evil, is turned upside down (i.e. will face the wrath of Allah).
2 ـ إنَّ أوَّلَ ما تُغْلَبُونَ عَلَيهِ مِنَ الجِهادِ، جِهادٌ بِأيْديكُمْ، ثُمَّ بِألْسِنَتِكُمْ، ثُمَّ بِقُلُوبِكُمْ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ بِقَلْبِهِ مَعْرُوفاً، وَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ مُنْكَراً، قُلِّبَ فَجُعِلَ أعْلاهُ أسْفَلَهُ
3 . Struggling [in the way of Allah] is the pillar of faith and the path of the felicitous.
3 ـ الجِهادُ عِمادُ الدّينِ، ومِنْهاجُ السُّعَداءِ
4 . The doors of the heavens are opened for those who strive [in the way of Allah].
4 ـ اَلمُجاهِدُونَ تُفْتَحُ لَهُمْ أبْوابُ السَّماءِ
5 . If the people who came before me complained about the injustice of their rulers, then today I complain about the injustice of my people; it is as if I am led and they are the leaders, [and] I am restrained and they are the restrainers.
5 ـ إنْ كانَتِ الرَّعايا قَبْلي تَشْكُوا حَيْفَ رُعاتِها فَإنِّي اليَوْمَ أشْكُو حَيْفَ رَعِيَّتي، كَأنِّي المَقُودُ وهُمُ القادَةُ، والمُوزَعُ وَهُمُ الوَزَعَةُ
6 . The reward for striving [in the way of Allah] is the greatest reward.
6 ـ ثوابُ الجِهادِ أعْظَمُ الثَّوابِ
7 . And [Allah has prescribed] Jihād as [a means of preserving the] honour of Islam.
7 ـ والجِهادَ عِزّاً لِلإسْلامِ
8 . Strong determination and lavishness do not go together.
8 ـ لا تَجْتَمِعُ عَزيمَةٌ ووَليمَةٌ
9 . The purification of the body is [in] striving and fasting.
9 ـ زَكوةُ البَدَنِ الجِهادُ والصِّيامُ
