The verses of Jihad are among the controversial topics which have been taken into account by researchers especially during the recent century. The verses of jihad could be divided into absolute, bound, peace and benevolence ones. During the recent century, following Salafi commentators some of the contemporary researchers have mainly focused on the absolute verses and about the rest of the verses, they accepted some views such as manuscripts and consequently they have considered that “jihad for elimination of atheism and change of opinion” is necessary. Nowadays, Jihad for imposing ideology has given its place to some viewpoints such as “Jihad for overcoming barriers and freedom of invitation” and “Jihad is a mere defense” and based on the approach toward the bound, peace and kindness verses, the concepts such as peace and coexistence with unbelievers have become more highlighted in having the common ground of humanity. The common ground of these two viewpoints includes the absence of coercion on opinions. Studying the set of verses related to Jihad reveals that “Jihad for overcoming barriers and freedom of invitation” is defensible and the other two viewpoints are criticized.
