Abstract
Resistance is considered a successful phenomenon in Islamic thought and practical theology and is based on monotheism, faith in God, and belief in divine victory in all social strata. The aim of this research will be to deeply understand the theology of resistance with an emphasis on Quranic themes. Accordingly, the main question is what specific themes in the Quran, centered on the verses regarding the Battle of Uhud, refer to the theology of resistance? This issue not only helps to better understand the concept of theology of resistance and its key concepts such as faith, patience, strong will, circulation of power, unity, and continuity of the path, and clarifies its point of distinction with the Marxist literature of liberation theology, but also can draw the connection between faith and resistance and its historical experience in the era of the prophethood, and in particular the ups and downs of the Battle of Uhud and the events that followed, and can also reflect on the impact of divine verses on social action and the shaping of individual, social, and political behaviors of contemporary Muslims in the face of the false front. The results of this research can help to provide religious and practical solutions to the challenges of the system of domination, based on Quranic themes, in order to promote the discourse of resistance and emphasize its effectiveness.
