The Greater Jihad

When from the outward fight I turned around The war inside our soul is what I found:‘The small Jihad we have just left behind’For a Jihad of a much greater kind;The strength from God is what I long to win Which can uproot Mount Qaf with just a pin,Don’t overrate the lion which can kill!The one who breaks himself is greater still.

by Jalal al-Din Rumi
