Peaceful Jihad through the Noble Quran and preaching Islam:
It is common for non-Muslims to believe that the word "Jihad", which literally means "Holy Struggle" in Arabic, means waging a physical war against the infidels. While this meaning is correct, the word itself is not limited to just this meaning. Jihad could also be done through peaceful preaching of Islam. Let us look at what Allah Almighty said in the Noble Quran:
"Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Quran). (The Noble Quran, 25:52)"
"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: For thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.
(The Noble Quran, 16:125)"Allah Almighty commands the Muslims to strive with the Wisdom and beautiful preaching of Islam against the unbelievers. Muslims are commanded to have open dialogues with non-Muslims and to do Jihad with them through Knowledge and Wisdom. If a Muslim dies while he is contributing to spreading Islam, whether he died while preparing material, or died on his way to a dialogue, etc..., then he would be considered a Martyr, by the Will and Mercy of Allah Almighty.
