Manevi Jihad

Manevi Jihad, (/ɪˈhɑːd/; Arabic: جهاد [dʒiˈhæːd]), or "Jihad of the Word", is a Turkish concept involving man's struggle to convey spiritual or religious truths.

This Islamic term was coined by Said Nursi, a Turkish scholar, in his written collection called the Risale-i Nur, or Treatise of Light. Manevi Jihad is primarily a concern with the health and well being of society, particularly the spiritual well being of the individuals that make up that society. Since Manevi Jihad is the struggle to win the "hearts and minds" of the people, it is related to "psychological warfare".
