The Meaning of Jihad

Contrary to what some media outlets would like us to believe, 'jihad' does not directly translate to 'holy war'.
To many, the word means 'struggle' - an 'inner spiritual struggle', and is in no way a military term.
It has only taken on negative connotations with the rise of extremist groups.

One of my current favourite songs

Not a truer word was spoken

William Blake - Auguries of Innocence extract

To see the world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
