Today, in the realm of civilisational and international conflicts, the dimensions of soft warfare have gained a more prominent role compared to its hard counterparts. The extensive confrontation of the Islamic community in this type of warfare, often referred to as the war of wills, compels the researcher to examine the definition of the war of wills as presented in the Holy Qur’ān. Drawing upon a descriptive-analytical method, this study analyses and evaluates the position of the war of wills and its Qur’anic strategies. Subsequently, the conceptual relationships of this term, in terms of syntagmaic and paradigmatic relationships, which have been employed in the context of the conflicts between Islam and disbelief, are introduced and componentised. In this process, terms such as faith, reliance, patience, vigilance (anticipation), and preparation are emphasised as Qur’anic strategies in the war of wills and as focal points of strength and power for believers in this regard. In the context of substitution, the terms determination and endeavour are inferred to complement the Quran’s strategic perspective on the dimensions of soft warfare in conflicts.
