War has been existed on earth since the beginning of human life and has been intertwined and wrapped up with human life, some schools have been trying to remove it from human society and some are its supporters, but the war machine is active at any time and it is impossible to eliminate it. And the divine religions have also accepted this issue in order to preserve the religion and society and to repel the aggression of the enemy as well. This article is a descriptive-analytical method with library instruments as well as a comparative method to analyze and distinguish the objectives of war and jihad in the Qur'an and the Testaments.The Qur'an and the Testaments have accepted the principle and nature of war and jihad, but they are differ in many cases in terms of objectives. The purpose of this research is to investigate and explain the objectives of war in the Qur'an and the Testaments. The finding of this research is that the Nobel Quran and the Testaments do not have the same position regarding the objectives of war in some cases; Because the objectives of war are stated in the Qur'an to save the oppressed, eradicate the sedition and corruption, preserve religion and ensure peace and reconciliation, and in the scripture (Bible), there are other issues such as racial superiority, territory development,But in some cases, there is an alignment between the Qur'an and the Testaments, such as repelling aggression, preserving religion, and suppressing enemies, both of which have the same position in these cases. This article has taken from the doctoral dissertation titled: "Comparative review of Jihad verses with emphasis on analysis and criticism of contemporary Jihadist approaches".
