[It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which the great attainment is.

(Quran, 9:111) Holy war (Jihad) against atheists and hypocrites,[^4] Jihad against the pagans,[^5] Jihad aimed at expansion of Islam and eliminating enemies intrigue,[^6] Jihad aimed at fighting against oppression,[^7] Jihad aimed at defending (the country) against the non-Muslim's invasion[^8] and finally Jihad due to breach of contract signed by non- Muslims with an Islamic state.[^9] Not only it is every Muslim's right but also in the eyes of Islam it is a religious duty and Muslims (except those having a justifiable excuse) cannot ignore this religious responsibility.[^10] Undoubtedly the warrior for Islamic purpose will enjoy eternal spiritual life, although his destiny may be termination of his worldly physical life.
