Which of the following is a key objective of Jihad in its comprehensive sense?

1. Establishing global political dominance
2. Removing oppression and allowing for the freedom of religion
3. Forcing others to accept Islam
4. Avenging past historical defeats

A primary objective of jihad, particularly its defensive aspect, is to remove oppression and injustice. This is supported by the Quranic verse (22:39) permitting those who have been wronged to fight. The ultimate goal is to create conditions where people, including Muslims, can practice their religion freely. Forcing conversion or seeking vengeance contradicts the Islamic principle of no compulsion in religion.
