jihad

ji·had /jəˈhäd/ noun ISLAM:
the spiritual struggle within oneself against sin.
as a young american in the wake of 9/11, i was told that this word means a complete inversion of this definition, one violent and meant to incite fear and hatred. to those of us misinformed, its actual definition opens a world of contemplation on an entwined personal and political level.
