Jihad, by ensuring the dignity of human beings, has caused freedom of thought and expression, and while avoiding exceeding human limits in it, the proportion of the punishment of the warlords with the manner of their warfare should be considered. It also preserves the dignity of believing human beings, in which it is necessary to defend Muslims, especially when seeking help, to prioritize the security of believers over their physical needs, and to defend the dignity of individuals in Islamic society. Jihad also has an irreplaceable role in human perfection. For his perfection and characteristics such as natural hatred, evil temptations, pride, love of the world and hypocrisy, prevent him from reaching perfection.
