Dear Zohaib,

You started your essay introduction with two excellent sentences but thereafter you have slipped away. As you yourself defined, "Jihad" is the name of every struggle (whether physical or mental) against evil. But your mistake is that you have sticked to the single aspect of physical jihad (fight against non-believers) even in your introductory statements and quotations. It may be better that you first quote those sayings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) or verses from the Holy Quran which define "Jihad" and than only you should define each aspect of Jihad separately. Please note that I didn't read all of your passage after coming to know that you have straight away come to the usual definition of Jihad (meaning fight against the non-believers).
