Abstract

Based on the teachings of the Qur'an and the text of the divine messages and the harmony of its laws and rules with human nature and the words of the infallibles (peace be upon them), we realize the universality and immortality of the religion of Islam and its finality. This can be proved from the point of view of reason, science and historical evidence and in harmony with the nature of mankind for opponents and adversaries. The present article is a documentary research on the critique of the famous Orientalist view of "Goldziher" on the question of why, in his view, the progress of Islam has been done by the sword and by force?

The authors claim that their lack of deep knowledge of the concept of jihad and its comprehensive meaning, and the superficiality and imaginativeness of this Orientalist, has led to this incorrect judgment.

In the necessity of the discussion, it is enough that this doubt has confused the minds of many seekers and Taliban of Islam, so it is necessary to study it wisely and comprehensively. The result of the present research, which is of descriptive-analytical type, is that the religion of Islam and all the verses about war and jihad show that war and aggression were never initiated in Islam and the principle was peace and tranquility. But as a defense of an inalienable human right against the aggressor enemy, Islam defends the sanctity of religion and its followers with arms, determination and power.
