Finally, here is all you wanted to know about Jihad, but were afraid
to ask!

“Jihad will continue till the Day of Judgement; jihad will never stop.
(Jihad jari rahega ta qayamat
Jihad hargiz naheen rukega)

It has forced oppressor’s head to bow; it will end oppression and
torture.
(Is se zalim ka sar jhuka hai
Is se zulm-o-sitam mitega)

On August 14, 2008, Pakistan’s Independence Day, the Islamist group
Jamatud Dawa – the new name of the banned militant group Lashkar-e-
Taiba held a conference in Lahore. At the opening of the conference, a
duo of Hafiz Abdul Wadud Hasan and Hafiz Abdur Rauf sang the following
song, titled the ”Jihadi Tarana (Jihadi anthem).’

The antem sung by the two is downloaded from the Jamatud Dawa
website , which posted a recording of the conference. The recitation
begins at 17: 25 in the recording. To hear the recording of the of the
conference, visit

“Jihad will continue till the Day of Judgement; jihad will never stop.
(Jihad jari rahega ta qayamat

It has forced oppressor’s head to bow; it will end oppression and
torture.

Jihad is the order of Allah; jihad is the path of the Prophet

(Jihad paiman hai wafa ka
Her ek momin wafa karega)

Jihad is mentioned in the Koran; jihad is the eternity of faith.
(Jihad Qur’an mein likha hai
Jihad Eiman ki baqaa hai)

This is the Will [of God], this is [His] happiness; no one can change
it.
(Yahi masheeat, yahi raza hai
Jise na koi badal saekga)

Only Jihad has always cut the head of evil from the earth
(Zameen se fitno ka sar hamesha
Jihad hi se qalam huwa hai)

If jihad has the power in it; mischief will have no substance.
(Rahega dam kham jihad mein to
Fasad mein dam naheen rahega)

Jihad alone gives voice; respect comes to the helpless.
(Jihad hi se zaban milti
Hai aan milti hai bekason ko)

Jihad will make the gods of falsehood naked.
(Jihad jhooti khudaion ko
Ulat kar be abroo karega)

Avoidance of jihad has given birth to subjugation.
(Jihad se ijtniab hi ne
Ghulamion ko janam diya hai)

Enemies of Jihad will be dishonoured; they will sink into an unending
abyss.
(Jihad dushman zaleel hoker
Athaah pasti mein ja girega)

Jihad is the protection of the Ummah; jihad is the symbol of self-
respect.

Jihad ghairat ki hai nishani)

Jihad is a Revealed gift; only the lucky ones will get it.
(Jihad tuhfa hai aasmani
Naseeb walon ko hi milega)

Jihad destroys terror; jihad brings good news.

Jihad muzde sunane walaa)

Jihad teaches how to live; only those will live who learn to die.
(Jihad jeena sikhane walaa
Jo marna seekhega wo jiyegaa)

Jihad is the state of ecstasy; jihad is the army of the brave.
(Jihad alam hai bekhudi ka
Jihad Lashkar bahaduri ka)

Jihad is the flag of truth; Never has it bowed, nor will it bow.
(Jihad parcham hai rasti ka
Kabhi jhuka, na kabhi jhukega)

Jihad is the kingdom of faith; jihad is the depth of emotions.
(Jihad eiman ki hai shahi
Jihad jazbon ki hai bepanahi)

Jihad is the destruction of heretics; those who fight against it will
die.
(Jihad alhad ki tabahi
Ise mitayega jo mitega)

Jihad is to stand for truth; not go back once you have taken the step.
(Jihad Afazan haq per hai datna
Qadam barhaker ne peechhe hanta)

Jihad is the Eagle’s attack; falsehood will be victim.
(Jihad shaheen ka jhapatna
Shikar batil bana rahega )”
