The conclusion of the research included the most important recommendations of the research as well as a list of the most important research references.  Jihad has several meanings, and  the reader at first glance thinks that jihad means fighting, but there are other meanings of jihad and fighting is among them.

Jihad at the beginning of the call of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was peaceful by calling for entry into Islam, and informing the Quraysh of its principles, but after they underestimated the Prophet and his companions, as  well as religion and its teachings and persecuted his companions, what called the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) to migrate to Medina, so all jihad in it was defensive and this approach remained in his honorable life until his death.

In the era of the imams of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), received some bright touches that were preserved for us by heritage books and with  regard to Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (peace be upon him) had honorable positions under the three caliphs, and that in his adoption of the jihad of the word (the word of truth) However, in the era of his caliphate and due to the events that went through him, invited him to change his style and adopted jihad (weapon) to ward off harm from Muslims as well as he followed the jihad of the right in his policy with tribal leaders Arab, and did not differentiate in giving with his relatives, and all people, the rest of the imams of Ahl al-Bayt after the martyrdom of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), they have several positions and effects in jihad due to the circumstances that surrounded them, and this is what we will try to display in the folds of the research, and with regard to the ancestors of the Imamate they had honorable positions mentioned by history, including:

Tobacco fatwa against the Shah of Iran, and the honorable position of the reference on the Italian occupation of Libya, as well as its stand with the Ottoman Empire at the end of its era when it appealed to it from the British occupation of Iraq, and its position was honorable, as well as at the beginning of the British occupation of Iraq, which resulted in its famous fatwa against him, which produced the Great Iraqi Revolution, which was an immortal beacon in the modern history of Iraq, and in the royal era a number of honorable positions of the reference emerged,  Also, in the republican era, there were remarkable positions of the marja'iyya, especially during the reign of Sayyid Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei (may God have mercy on him).

We have shed light on the circumstances that led to the establishment of the Popular Mobilization Commission as a result of the control of terrorist gangs over a number of Iraqi provinces and the role of the supreme authority in issuing the fatwa of efficient jihad, which was the green light for the general public to volunteer in order to join the battlefronts and repel terrorist aggression by takfiri gangs and their rational guidance and advice to fighters in strengthening national cohesion and giving moral motivation to fighters in defending the homeland. The experience of bright images was manifested in which the images of generosity and self-altruism of the fighters and leaving their work and their own interests and the sustenance of their day to join the battlefields and the role of the popular bases in providing moral and material support to the families of the liberated areas and the fighters through continuous logistical support campaigns and the role of Husseiniya processions in these campaigns as we touched on the dangers to which the Popular Mobilization Commission is exposed as it has become a basic Iraqi force that enjoys its moral and material independence and the need to preserve it by the Iraqi state to defend Iraq's sovereignty.
