Jihad is not just a temporary rihlah (journey) that will end in a certain country. Jihad is not a short term goal. Therefore, it must be truly embedded in the self of a Mujahid that Jihad is not a gain that is going to be obtained easily and it is also not quick journey. But Jihad is the journey for a lifetime which always accompanies life. Jihad will never end as long as the blood is still flowing in the veins.
Jihad is not merely for the liberation of Afghanistan, Palestine or Iraq. But Jihad is an ever present duty and an ibaadah that must be habituated on the shoulders of every Muslim, as long as he is still treading his feet on the ground and carrying weapons.
Indeed, the Jihad of a Muslim is not merely for the liberation of a piece of land. The battle that he performs is not a tribal or national one, but a battle where the scope covers the entire land and all time, as well as having the objective of eradicating kufr and shirk, until the Dienullah is truly established and is above all other diens.
Allah Ta’ala says:
وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لَا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ فَإِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
“And fight them on until there is no fitnah, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.” (Qur’an. Al Anfal: 39)
