I plan to examine parts of the Qur'an, and see how it describes jihad, in addition how the Qur’an discusses the role of jihad. I will also examine other religious writings and rules. Knowing some of the different opinions regarding jihad and the various misconceptions around its meaning, I began to ponder the questions, “what does jihad mean”, and “what is a martyr in jihad?” In order to answer these questions, I will explore the two views of jihad, the negative and positive, from both inside Islam and out. There are many misconceptions of what jihad truly means and whether or not it is simply a “Holy War” or if it means something completely different. Jihad means an inner struggle to be faithful and serve Islam. There are many different opinions on what martyrdom truly means in Islam and how one can obtain martyrdom in jihad. Martyrdom is the “paradise” after someone dies in the name of Allah. Through research such as interviews I hope to obtain the beliefs of jihad from people that participate in jihad as well as experts that practice jihad. In order to formulate and answer to my question I first need to research the basics of jihad, and the misconceptions that come with jihad and martyrdom.
