Muḥarram is the last of the four sacred months in which Allāh ﷻ forbade war. Jihād is necessary, but only under the command of an amīr. Many today are deceived into false jihād that brings only ruin. The greatest jihād is against your ego – a daily battle we often lose but must keep fighting, especially by being aware not to be deceived by those who have no respect for the Prophet ﷺ and mislead others.
