The directorates of the Amir of Jihad consist of four departments.

These are :

1. The External Affairs (Foreign Policy).

2. The Military.

3. The Internal Security.

4. Industry.

The Amir of Jihad is the director and supervisor of all four departments. The Khaleefah may delegate this position to a suitably qualified Muslim, but since he is the head of state, it is important that he takes on the role himself.
