A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:09
The objectives of Jihad.
0:12
Jihad was legislated in general to fulfill the Sunnah of mutual defense.
0:17
And to establish justice and fairness, as we have mentioned.
0:21
This can be explained further in the following manner.
0:25
First, it was legislated to repel harm and persecution from the believers.
0:30
As Allah the Exalted said:
0:32
"And fight them until there is no more persecution."
0:36
And He said:
0:37
“And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.” (2:191)
0:40
The most severe form of persecution is disbelief and polytheism.
0:44
As the exegetes have mentioned.
0:46
Second:
0:48
To establish the freedom to call all of humanity [to the truth].
0:52
Without obstacles or distortion.
0:54
So that the guidance of people may increase thereby.
0:58
Third:
0:59
To allow Islam to establish its own system on earth.
1:03
To uphold it and protect it.
1:05
And to abolish the enslavement of humans by other humans.

These are the most important objectives of Jihad.
