Detailed explanation-1: -Defensive jihad, according to most Islamic exegetes is when the kuffar, the infidels in Dar al-Harb, attack the Muslims, the Muslim lands, or gain control of a Muslim country, and force them into a defensive position of war.
Detailed explanation-2: -Within Islam, there are two basic theological understandings of the word: The “Greater Jihad” is the struggle against the lower self – the struggle to purify one’s heart, do good, avoid evil and make oneself a better person. The “Lesser Jihad” is an outward struggle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Jihad is a broad term in the Qur’an and its basic meaning is ‘struggle’, ‘striving’ and ‘exertion’. When the word jihad (or its derivatives) is joined to the phrase fi sabil Allah (literally, ‘in the path of God’), the full expression in Arabic, al-jihad fi sabil Allah, means ‘struggling/striving for the sake of God’.
Detailed explanation-4: -"The notion of jihad martyrdom is extolled in the Quran, Quran verse 9:1-11. And then in the Hadith, it’s even more explicit. This is the highest form of jihad-to kill and to be killed in acts of jihad."
