Employing the concepts of infidelity and jihad among the commentators, an analytical study

Abstract

 The concepts of infidelity and jihad are controversial concepts in the Islamic intellectual system as skeptical concepts that can be employed and applied to many external difficulties, which generated a discrepancy in the sayings of Muslim scholars, and since the first source for the establishment of any Islamic concept is the Holy Qur'an, the commentators went in more than one direction in explaining the concepts of infidelity and jihad in the light of Quranic use.

From this standpoint, the research seeks to address an important hypothesis based on differentiating between establishment and employment, which is reflected in theory and practice in many fields, as the error that is in application due to a specific employment does not necessarily mean the error of the theory.

Infidelity and jihad are concepts that have their own Quranic uses, but the problem lies in the wrong use of these uses for political, sectarian or other purposes, which requires clarifying each concept in the light of its Quranic use, area and determinants.
