The Qur anic Perspective on Jihad and Its Educational Opportunities from

The various situations which man faces throughout life provide him with potential educational opportunities. Among the foundations of man education is his being influenced by these opportunities. This paper aims to explain the educational opportunities in jihad and show how these opportunities can be used. This research is qualitative study in which an "analytical - inferential" method is used. According to the method of combat, there are four conditions: "attack, defense, emigration and religious dissimulation". In "defense", man is placed in a predetermined situation; in "attack" the decision is taken by man himself. In emigration", man should leave the battle field, and in "religious dissimulation" he should resist and remain consciously silent. Each one of these conditions prepares the ground for strengthening various characteristics in man and contributes to bringing up a combatant who enjoys many moral and social characteristics consistent with the individual and collective dimensions of jihad, such as monotheism,, trust in God, tolerance, patience and resistance, love and anger, obedience, fighting against cruelty and conscientiousness.
