Abstract

One of the important exegetical, jurisprudential and historical issues of Islam is "jihad". A discussion known as one of the important religious issues. Within the scope of this, the discussion of primary jihad is considered a challenging topics in the era of occultation and in the current era, and its misunderstanding has caused misguided people to use it as a pretext for their political abuses, and, many misguided people used it to attack Islam and the Quran and describe Islam as a violent religion.

some Muslim scholars fundamentally denied the legitimacy of primary jihad in the Quran in order to purify the face of Islam and considered all jihads of Islam as defensive jihads intended to repel the aggression of enemies, and their purpose to be only to repel aggression and not to fight polytheism and considered such a struggle to be contrary to human freedom and choice. Abdul Sattar, author of al-Jami, is one of these commentators.

In this article, by comparing the views of Abdul Sattar on the verses of Jihad with the views of Javadi Amoli, it was proven that in Islam, there was a primitive Jihad based on Quranic evidence and the Prophetic Sunnah, although its purpose goes back to the spirit of defense and Abdul Sattar's arguments regarding the context of some verses are incorrect.
