Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explain the Quranic foundations of Islamic resistance, focusing on the "schools" (Maktab) of the two martyrs, Haj Qasem Soleimani and Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, as practical contemporary models. The research methodology is descriptive-analytical, based on the content analysis of Quranic verses, the narrations of the Infallibles (AS), and the life conduct and evidence of these two great martyrs. Research findings indicate that the school of these two martyrs is derived from the luminous verses of the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). From the Quranic perspective, the prerequisites for resistance and Jihad in the way of Allah are deep faith, trust and reliance on God (Tawakkul), and the rejection of Taghut (tyranny/idolatry). Analyzing the clear evidence from the lives of Martyrs Soleimani and Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah reveals that the prominent personal characteristics of these two martyrs include deep faith in the Creator, worship, seeking intercession (Tawassul) from the Ahl al-Bayt (AS), and a love for martyrdom. Furthermore, in the social and political spheres, they are firm believers in Wilayah-oriented leadership and the rejection of Taghut and the global arrogant system (Istikbar). In a world where the arrogant system plays a diabolical and destructive role through cyberspace and various media, introducing the leaders of the Resistance Front to the new generation will have an educational and constructive impact on guiding adolescents and youth toward the correct path of life.
