Manevi Jihad, (pronounced /dʒɪˈhɑːd/; Arabic: جهاد [dʒiˈhæːd]), or Jihad of the Word, is a Turkish term used to describe, man's struggle to convey the Truth.
Manevi, an Islamic term was first coined in conjunction with the word Jihad by Said Nursi, a Turkish scholar, in his written collection called the Risale-i Nur, or Treatise of Light.
Manevi Jihad is primarily concerned 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".
