What is the difference between the words qital and jihad in Islamic law, and what are the types of jihad?

The questioner : What is the difference between the words qital and jihad in Islamic law, what are the types of jihad, who declares it, and when is it declared?

The Shaykh : There is no fighting in Islam that is bare and devoid of jihad; every fight must be sought for the sake of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He. This is the difference between the fighting of the Muslims and the fighting of the disbelievers. The Muslims intend by jihad in the path of Allah a purpose that the disbelievers do not intend. Therefore, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As for engaging in jihad directly, the reality is that this is the problem of the Muslims today. We have mentioned to you repeatedly that this jihad must have prerequisites, and the first and most important of these prerequisites is understanding tawhid (the oneness of Allah) in the correct manner that saves its adherent from eternal abode in the Fire. On the contrary, whoever does not become a monotheist, his good deeds will not benefit him, as He, Mighty and Majestic, said: After tawhid comes the knowledge that the Muslim learns, which is pure knowledge taken only from the Book and the Sunnah. This and that are things upon which the Muslims today have not agreed to focus. Therefore, the first jihad that every Muslim seeks is to know tawhid and to be educated in the correct Islamic culture. Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, grants permission to Islam and the Muslims for might and the victory He promised them. Yes?
