The fifth volume of the "Political Jurisprudence," entitled " Rights and regulations of conflicts in the realm of Islamic jihad and international Islamic law," consists of two approximately equal sections (each comprising 200 pages). The first section, which covers general principles, is divided into four chapters that elucidate the roots of war, the foundations of warfare in Islam, methods of engaging with adversaries, and strategies for mitigating conflict. The second section, titled "The Nature of War and Its Types," expands upon the discussions from the first section across six chapters. The first chapter addresses the concepts of worship, sanctity, value, and the significance of jihad in Islam, along with its relationship to the obligations of individuals and the conditions under which it becomes obligatory. The subsequent chapter discusses the legitimacy and objectives of jihad from the perspectives of the Quran and Nahj al-Balagha, while the third chapter defines various forms of jihad, such as defensive and Preliminary jihad. The fourth chapter examines the views of Sunni and Shia scholars regarding jihad, and the following chapter elaborates on jihad and intervention in the affairs of nations. The final chapter highlights the constructive impacts of jihad, including the preservation of sovereignty, development and construction, self-sufficiency, and the revival and enhancement of cultural and spiritual values, which also encompasses the significance and status of martyrdom. | The fifth volume of the "Political Jurisprudence," entitled " Rights and regulations of conflicts in the realm of Islamic jihad and international Islamic law," consists of two approximately equal sections (each comprising 200 pages).
