Jihad can be every effort you for Allah, making your prayers is Jihad, spreading the word about the true Islam is Jihad etc.
The Jihad with the sword is a part too but it's the least we Muslims should use, it's like when there's no other way out.

this is just to clear it up cuz I see on the internet many misunderstand what Jihad actually is and then act all smart and start talking about Islam like they know the meaning of the Qu'ran by heart.

jihad is a struggle, and there are obviously different levels onto which this can be applied, personal level, social level, etc.


"Personal Jihad: The most excellent jihad is that of the soul. This jihad, called the Jihadun-Nafs, is the intimate struggle to purify the soul of satanic influence--both subtle and overt. It is the struggle to cleanse one's spirit of sin. This is the most important level of jihad.

Verbal Jihad: On another occasion, the Prophet said, "The most excellent jihad is the speaking of truth in the face of a tyrant." He encouraged raising one's voice in the name of Allah on behalf of justice.

Physical Jihad: This is combat waged in defense of Muslims against oppression and transgression by the enemies of Allah, Islam and Muslims. We are commanded by Allah to lead peaceful lives and not transgress against anyone, but also to defend ourselves against oppression by "fighting against those who fight against us." This "jihad with the hand" is the aspect of jihad that has been so profoundly misunderstood in today's world. "
