The Blessings of Jihad:
That is, they do not understand that jihad is entirely good and blessed for them. As long as jihad is not undertaken, disbelief will never allow Islam to live and flourish; rather, its effort is to uproot Islam and the Muslims completely. Only through jihad will the period of Muslims’ troubles and hardships come to an end. Mischief and corruption will be eradicated. Allah’s religion will be elevated. Tawheed will spread, shirk will be eliminated, and this land will become a cradle of peace and tranquility.
