From wikishia

Template:Infobox Verse Verse 76 of Sūra al-Nisāʾ (Arabic: Template:IA) states that believers fight in the way of God, while disbelievers fight in the way of Ṭāghūt.[1] According to this verse, the enemies of believers seek help from satanic and demonic forces[2] and have no guardian or support other than Satan.[3] At the end of this verse, God commands fighting against the friends of Satan, because Satan's schemes are weak.[4]

In this verse, God encourages Muslims to perform Jihad in His way.[5] According to Allāma Ṭabāṭabāʾī, this verse compares the manner of fighting of believers and disbelievers to clarify the nobility and superiority of the believers' way of life over that of the disbelievers.[6]

Some exegetes state the reason for the superiority of believers over the followers of Ṭāghūt is that believers step on the path of goals such as liberating humans and destroying oppression, which is in harmony with the law of creation.[7] Furthermore, relying on spiritual forces, believers find a tranquility that facilitates their victory; whereas followers of Ṭāghūt step on the path of colonialism, conquest, revenge, lust, and destruction of society, and they lack a firm support.[8]

Ṭabrisī (d. 548/1153) in Jawāmiʿ al-jāmiʿ states that the use of the verb "kāna" (was/is) after "inna" (verily) at the end of the verse is to express the point that the weakness of the satanic people against believers is a fixed matter applicable to all states and times.[9]

Jaʿfar Kāshif al-Ghiṭāʾ (d. 1228/1813) has counted this verse, alongside verses 74 and 75 of Sūra al-Nisāʾ, among the verses indicating the obligation of Jihad.[10] He believes these verses show that Jihad is among the essentials of religion (ḍarūriyyāt al-dīn).[11]
