by Gholām Sarvar Akhlāqī, ʿAliriḍā Biniyāz, and Qāsem Shabānniyā Ruknābādī The greater Jihad (holy war) and the lesser Jihad have been of interest to Muslim jurists and thinkers throughout the history of Islam; however, the greater Jihad, which is one of the Qur’anic terms, has received less attention. The main question of this research is: What is the greater Jihad and what foundations support it? This study has been conducted to answer the above questions. In this research, the necessary information has been gathered through library methods and processed drawing upon a descriptive-analytical approach, resulting in the following findings: The greater Jihad is the very non-military and soft warfare that is realized through two means: non-compliance with the enemy (negative aspect) and fulfilling the mission of elucidating the values of Islam and repelling the enemy's doubts (positive aspect). The greater Jihad is based on Qur’anic foundations and is relevant in political, economic, cultural, and scientific domains.
