Abstract

The confrontation of right with wrong is a divine tradition that dates from the past of history and has faced ups and downs in its constant confrontation. Sometimes right prevailed over wrong, and sometimes wrong prevailed. In the current era, the view of resistance or compromise has become more prominent, with the display of power and wealth of global arrogance and the scarcity of material resources of the Right Front on the one hand and the threats of the domination system to improve them on the other hand. The Holy Qur'an, while warning about secret relations with the enemy and compromising with them, introduces the building of atheism as the weakest houses. According to the divine tradition, standing against wrong and putting up with hardships is considered as the condition for the victory of right and the defeat of wrong, and has real effects, such as the development of sustenance and livelihood, the descent of the angels, becoming the beloved of God and honor, and will provide the context for the formation of the world civilization of Islam. However, not resisting and compromising with the enemy leads to apostasy, misguidance, humiliation, and wrath of God. Therefore, recognizing these works plays an important role in choosing one of the two paths ahead. The present study deals with the end of each of these two paths from the perspective of the Holy Qur'an in a descriptive-analytical method. According to the research findings, compromise with the enemy leads to apostasy, misguidance, humiliation, and wrath of God whereas resistance against the enemies of right, in addition to divine sustenance, the descent of angels, becoming the beloved of God, victory and honor, provide the means for Islam to overcome atheism and form the world civilization of Islam.
