The title of Great Jihad is mentioned in verse 52 of Surah Al-Furqan. Due to the Meccan nature of Surah Al-Furqan and the context of the verses of Makki, the Great Jihad is a civilian strategy to confront enemies and protect Islamic society from any invasion and civilian domination. Extracting the foundations and principles of the Great Jihad from the Holy Quran is something that has not been properly studied so far, and the present article tries to eliminate this shortcoming. In this research, the basis is the foundations of the legitimacy of the great jihad on which this type of jihad is built. What is meant by the principle is the framework for the implementation of the Great Jihad. Civilian struggle by the Qur'an, confrontation with doubts, divine test for recognizing the Mujahideen, and fighting against falsehood are the special principles of the Great Jihad and the belief in the existence of an intellectual enemy, soft struggle against the enemies, and having a jihadist spirit are its specific principles. These findings, extracted from the teachings of the Holy Qur'an, indicate that the Holy Qur'an, with its approach of disobedience to infidels, should be the tool of great jihad. The Mujahideen in the civilian arena must take steps to fight the enemies, extract, and formulate the ideas needed by the Islamic society. The method used in this research to achieve the desired is the method of intra-Quranic thematic research and comparative study between interpretations.
