SUCIDE BOMBING AND ISLAM 20

Jihad & Suicide Bombing Jihad means to strive or

struggle. Jihad is applied in various

ways: there is jihad of the hand, which means the struggle to put faith into action by doing good deeds; jihad of the heart, which is the struggle to make the faith real as a spiritual force; jihad of the tongue, the struggle to speak about the faith with others; and jihad of the sword, the struggle to defend the faith when it is under attack.

Suicide is haram in Islam. It's prohibited, like a mortal sin. And murder is haram. And to kill civilians is murder.

The taking of one's own life, not to mention the taking of the lives of innocents, is forbidden

Islam teaches that the person who takes his/her own life will be condemned to hell

War, in Islam, can only be fought in self-defense and has limits and boundaries
