                  This  question as a result of its simplicity   and direct style was answered by many candidates who can be divided into  two groups.  The first group really hit  the salient points in their explanation of the major types of Jihād like Jihad  against self, Jihad against enemies that take up arms against one and other  efforts made sincerely in the cause of Allah. 
Such  efforts, according to the brilliant set of candidates could involve the search  for knowledge, teaching, arbitration and so on.   For the second group of candidates,   Jihād 
was portrayed from the perspective of violence, intolerance  and turbulence. It must also be pointed out here that lessons of  Hadith 34 of an-Nawawi collection can be  adapted to explain the concept of Jihad here.   Candidates’ performance was average.    |
