There are only five main pillars of Islam that are basic norms of Islamic practice. Jihad is sometimes referred to as the sixth pillar of Islam meaning struggle or striving.[1][circular reference] In Islam, it could be an individual's internal struggle against baser instincts, the struggle to build a good Muslim society, or a war for the faith against unbelievers.[2] So jihad is the fight to defend Islam (holy war) that must be practiced.[3] The Kharijite sect of Islam declared jihad as the sixth pillar of Islam and is commonly mentioned as the main group to do so.[4]
In Twelver Shi'a Islam, the second-largest branch of Islam, jihad is one of the ten Practices of the Religion.
Jihad was brought up in controversial magazine Charlie Hebdo, which suffered a terrorist attack in 2015, stirred controversy with its coverage of Tariq Ramadan, with a headline that associated him with the Sixth Pillar of Islam. It was brought up since jihad is the pillar that sustains this type of practice in Islam.
