Abstract

Resistance means having endurance and incompatibility against oppression and comprehensive readiness to preserve material and spiritual resources and achieving material and spiritual values, both individually and collectively to fulfill the material and spiritual goals and destinations defined in cultural, religious and civilizational identity in a community or a great nation. When such a readiness is made, that time, the "resisted" individual and society will have the ideal peace, and then no internal or external factor will be able to destroy that individual or society.
In this study, we intend to examine and analyze the Qur'anic and narrative principles of the emergence of such resistance in the words of the Supreme Leader of Iran. Of course, in his words, important issues related to resistance have been discussed, but in this paper, we will only discuss the issues related to the Qur'anic and narrative principles of resistance. He said that the only solution for the problems in the Islamic world is the resistance and endurance of the Islamic community. Because, in the divine traditions, victory depends on resistance. The findings from the series of his speeches on resistance are: 1. Faith in God. 2. God's command to resist. 2. Trust and reliance on God. 3. Having confidence in the inevitability of divine promises. 5. Having insight. 6. Having strong determination and will in line with the human goals to defend the fellow-creatures and eliminate oppression. The method of this paper is analytical-descriptive and relies on the words of the Supreme Leader of Iran.
