The title is a research paper by Mohammad Sadegh Yosefi Moqaddam published in the journal “Political Science)”, Volume 23, Issue 91 - Serial Number 91, Autumn 2020, Pages 59-74. The following is its full article.

Objective

The purpose of this study is to explain the position and goals of Islamic resistance from the perspective of commentators to clarify the holistic view of Islam on the subject of resistance.

Methodology and findings

This research has been done using the descriptive-analytical method. According to the obtained results, the set of goals of Islamic resistance in the Holy Quran (establishment of Islamic government; defense of established Islamic system; deterrence of the enemy from military, political and economic actions against the Islamic Ummah; defense of the oppressed; security and religious freedom and social justice) are not only interconnected and they form a truth, but some goals (such as the establishment of the Islamic system) also have a prior and instrumental aspect over others.

Conclusion

Therefore, the Resistance Front must strive to achieve all goals at the same time in order to be safe from extremism. In addition, the incompatibility of the views and actions of the Takfiri movements with the teachings of the Qur'an and the truth of Islam based on the above-mentioned view can be clearly proven.
