    Jihad

    The word "Jihad" means to struggle in the will of Allah. You can also think of Jihad as being good overcoming evil. "There is a name for the process by which we must carry out our responsibility as the Khalifah of Allah. That process is called jihad. Jihad does not mean Holy War as is so often claimed by the Western news media. Jihad means Holy Struggle. Jihad is the struggle for good to overcome evil. Jihad is the struggle to make the Will of Allah win against the influence of Shaitan. That we have been given jihad as a means to overcome Shaitan is a great Blessing and Mercy from Allah.source

    There are two types of Jihad, a lesser Jihad, and a greater Jihad. The difference is that the greater Jihad was the journey home from victory and the lesser Jihad was the struggle on the battlefield. Others might also recall Jihad by being holy war for the religion. The religion being Islam. source

  • Queen Nefertiti

    Queen Nefertiti ruling in 1390 B.C.E to 1360 B.C.E was queen during the Armana period. Her husband was Amenhotep IV also known as King Akhenaten. When Nefertiti was fifteen years old she ended marrying King Akhenaten. They had six daughters and one son. Queen Nefertiti was known for reciting daily worship and making offerings.

    source




    After the fourteenth year of King Akhenatens rule there were no more pictures of Nefertiti. She was erased from history. That may be because Nefertiti had many enemies. Since she was the wife of King Akhenaten, she made changes to the rules which the Egyptians might not have liked. What
    is funny is that one of her favorite hobbies was politics.

    source



    Nefertitis name meant the beautiful or perfect woman has come. Some scholars believe that she was not from Egypt, and had traveled from a foreign land. There are other opinions which think that she was born an Egyptian royal. Then others think that she might not have been royal blood but her father was a high government official. Her father then became pharaoh after King Tutankhamen.

    source




    Nefertiti and her husband King Akhenaten strived to make monotheism a practiced religion. Monotheism is the belief in one God. In their religion they worshiped Aten the Sun God. Akhenaten thought the idea of the polytheistic religion was silly. Some Egyptologist think that Nefertiti instigated the monotheistic religion that started an argument between Akhenaten and the priests.

    source




    Nefertiti then dies in 1360 B.C.E. Some theologians think that Nefertiti was murdered. Yet others think that she may have died of old age. This topic is still being discussed today. In the end, her mummy was stolen by grave robbers.

    King Tut was the youngest ruler in Egyption history. King Tut was ruler of the 1333 B.C. to 1324 B.C. He was the twelfth ruler of the eighteenth dynasty. Why was King Tut so young you ask? Well Akhenaten King Tuts father. His father died during his seventeenth year of ruling.

    source




    King Tut is best known for his tomb. His tomb was located near the Nile River by the ancient city of Thebes. In 1922 they discovered steps leading to his tomb. They found a way to eventually get down there. They ran into a sealed door. The size of his tomb was very small. This was because he was small himself. Behind the antechamber they found his treasures. There was a gilt shrine covering and protecting the sarcophagus.

    King Tut's family consist of his grandfather Amenhotep III. Then Amenhotep III married Queen Tiye. They had a son named Amenhotep the VI. Amenhotep VI then changed his name to Akhenaten. Akhenaten was Akhenatens son. Akhenten had many wives. His most famous wife was Nefertiti. Together they had three children. The three children were all girls. Then there was Akhenatens wife Kiya. That was his fvorite wife besides Nefertiti. They both had one boy. His name was Tutankhamen.

    source






    King Tut was most famous for his tomb. It was the most reserved tomb in the Valley of the Kings. His tomb was hidden to where it was very complicated to find. Many of the other pharaohs bodies were stolen by grave robbers. His was not because his was well preserved.

    source





    There are different opinions on how King Tut died. Some people think he was murdered. Others think that he got infected with a sickness caused by a broken leg. People were thinking that he was murdered because they took an xray of his body and saw a bash in the back of his head. Then they took another xray with better technology and they think that he might have died in his sleep.
