Investigating the Nature of Jihad e Kabir and its Role in creating the Islamic Civilization

Right and wrong are two opposing fronts, each of them try to defeat the other one and therefore, consolidate, develop, and manifest its own sovereignty over the universe. The Islamic Revolution, as the representative of the Right Front and the continuation of the line of prophets to achieve the ultimate goal of forming Islamic civilization, as it was in past, faces the great challenge of arrogant and powerful enemies who seek obedience of other nations. The Jihad e Kabir or cultural struggle was the Qur'anic instruction of Almighty Allah to the Holy Prophet to confront the infidels of his time who seek obedience of others. And today, the Islamic Revolution, due to the more similarity of its situation to the Prophet in the early years of his divine invitation and during the revelation of the verse of the Jihad e Kabir, urgently needs this prescription to maintain and achieve its predefined goals. Using a descriptive and analytical method, the researcher examines the nature of the Jihad e Kabir by explaining its historical background in the advent of Islam and by using an approach of comparison and adaptation has examined it in the field of the Islamic Revolution and thus has confirmed the unique role of grounding, removing the obstacles and increasing the authority of the Jihad e Kabir in creation of Islamic civilization.
