In light of the military escalation in the Gaza Strip, the world is witnessing the extraordinary steadfastness of the Palestinian people, which raises many questions about the source of this steadfastness despite the massive destruction and grief suffered by the people of Gaza. What is the secret behind their ability to endure and resist in the face of one of the most powerful military forces in the world?
This article examines the vital role that Islam plays in strengthening the will to endure and resist among Palestinians in Gaza. Despite the enormous technological gap between the Israeli occupation army and the Palestinian resistance, the power of the Islamic faith is clearly visible as a key factor that gives Gazans steadfastness and determination to continue living and struggling.
Scientific research confirms that Islamic religiosity is closely linked to improved mental health and increased happiness and life satisfaction, as religion provides certain answers to questions of existence and death, and supports individuals with a network of social and spiritual relationships that support them in times of crisis.
Islam not only provides psychological and social support, but also creates meanings and goals that make life under occupation more bearable. Islam gives individuals a sense of purpose and importance, which enhances their ability to face challenges with determination.
In the face of Israel’s destructive war machine, Islamic faith and doctrine stand out as key elements in strengthening the Palestinian people’s will to endure and resist. It is a battle between the mighty physical force and the firm spiritual will, where the Islamic religion proves its effective role in supporting resistance and confronting oppression.
This heroic steadfastness of the Palestinian people sends a strong message to the world: That the power of faith and belief can challenge the strongest military forces and achieve steadfastness and victory.
