Saying of Al-Fawzan (HA) :



Jihad of the sword that has received the lion's share of global attention. The concept began when early Muslims were driven from their land by enemies, said Idris, and were first given permission and later ordered by God to fight those enemies. They were not, Idris stresses, given permission to fight non-believers or those who rejected the faith—only those who transgressed against them. Idris references the following verses: "God does not forbid you, regarding those (non-Muslims) who did not fight you because of your religion, and who did not drive you out of your land, that you be good to them and treat them justly. Allah only forbids you regarding those who fought you because of your religion and drove you out of your homes, and came to the help of those who drove you out, that you should befriend them. Any of you who befriend them (and be their allies) are transgressors. [60:8-9]" But even this kind of military jihad is not necessarily a clash of religions. It can also be waged against transgressors who are themselves Muslim.

So basically Muslims nowadays aren't doing the Jihad which is the inernal Jihad also known as the Jihad with your our Nafs (evil desires, soul, ego etc) some ignorant Muslims (they call themselves Muslims) but they take the meaning of the Qur'an and the teachings of Our beloved Prophet Sallalahu Alahi Wassalam in a wrong way and bring disgrace to Islam.
