Ruhollah Khomeini – The Greater Jihad (Cihad-ı Ekber) – Akademi Yayıncılık Turkish Edition (1989)

Description:

This Turkish edition of The Greater Jihad (Cihad-ı Ekber) by Ruhollah Khomeini was published in Istanbul by Akademi Yayıncılık in 1989. Printed in Turkish, the book focuses not on political ideology, but on Islamic morality, spiritual purification, self-discipline, and inner religious struggle.

The work explores the concept of the “Greater Jihad,” understood in Islamic thought as the personal struggle against the ego and harmful desires of the self. Subjects such as pride, envy, hypocrisy, attachment to worldly pleasures, and moral corruption are examined through a spiritual and ethical framework centered on self-improvement and inner purification.

Themes such as self-discipline, spiritual growth, morality, repentance, sincerity, and closeness to God appear throughout the volume. Imam Khomeini emphasizes that religious knowledge alone is not sufficient unless it is accompanied by ethical behavior, humility, and righteous action.

Written in a reflective and instructive style, the book serves as a spiritual guide on moral development and the purification of the soul within Islamic teachings.
