وَمَن جَٰهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَٰهِدُ لِنَفۡسِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَنِيٌّ عَنِ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
Whoever strives, strives only for his own sake. Indeed Allah has no need of the creatures.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 29:6
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 29:6] Jihad, in its total rational perspective, does not mean a war against some enemy. It means striving, specially against one's own self, which is the greatest jihad. One who strives in the way of Allah, does it for his own good.
