Abstract

Resistance is one of the important concepts in Islamic culture that Muslims can use to overcome the challenges created by the enemy and achieve their goals in dealing with the enemy. The challenges caused by the enemies have various aspects, the most important of which are political challenges. Enemy challenges can be created in both internal and external arenas. Thus, the political challenges of the Islamic resistance are of two kinds: internal political challenges and external political challenges. This paper, while examining the political challenges of the Islamic resistance in the internal arena, explains the Qur'anic solutions to these challenges. Through examining and analyzing the actions of the enemy, the most important internal challenges are disobedience, discord, influence, and ultimately the defeat and domination of tyranny. In order to face these challenges, the Holy Qur'an has stated different strategies such as conscientiousness, unity, insight, and finally fighting against oppression. The type of data collection in this study is library and the research question has been answered through a descriptive-analytical method.
