I will attend to the full post later, but just a quick note, I particularly picked up jihad, since it is the most debatable issue, and non muslims look upon this is a special manner.
For example, marriage must be attempted only for the sake of Allah, not because you cannt live without this man or woman, or because this woman is stunning or this man is dashing. If u know what I mean. This is a second exmple. I m just trying to be as focused and brief simultaneously.
