圣战埃米尔是哈里发任命的负责管理和监督外交事务、军事事务、内部安全和工业事务的人。

The Ameer of Jihad is the person whom the Khaleefah appoints as an Ameer over matters of foreign affairs, military affairs, internal security and industry in order to supervise and administer.

他被称为"圣战之艾米尔"，尽管他管理这四个部门，因为这些部门都与圣战相关。因此，外交事务无论在和平时期还是战争时期，都依照圣战的需要来处理。军事部门与进行圣战的军队相关，涉及其编组、准备和武装。内部安全与国家的保卫和维护相关，也与维护国内安全相关，例如通过使用作为圣战准备的军队一部分的警察力量来应对叛乱者和拦路抢劫。工业部门负责为军队提供武器和装备，以服务于圣战的目的。因此，由于所有这些事务都与圣战相关，他便被称为"圣战之艾米尔"。

He is named the Ameer of Jihad, although He supervises these four departments, because all these departments are linked to Jihad. Hence foreign affairs, whether at time of peace or war, are run according to the requirements of Jihad. The military department is linked to the armies that fight Jihad, in its formation, preparation and armament. Internal security is linked to the preservation and protection of the state as well as the preservation of security inside the state, e.g. in dealing with rebels, highway robbery through the use of the police force that is part of the army that is prepared for Jihad. The industrial department involves itself in supplying arms and equipment to the army for the purpose of Jihad. Thus since all these issues are linked to Jihad, accordingly He was called Ameer of Jihad.
