Abstract

The Palestinian issue is one of the most important issues in the Islamic world that Muslims have always paid attention to. In the meantime, poets, as one of the influential groups on culture and society, have addressed this issue in their poems. Native Palestinian poets as well as poets from other countries and in different languages have written poems in their own language and pen in line with the resistance of the Palestinian nation and have raised the cry of struggle against the usurping Zionist regime in the path of independence and freedom of the Islamic land, and have made this manifest in their poems. The present study uses a descriptive-analytical method to study and examine the manifestations of resistance and the ideal of Palestine in the poems of "Iqbal Lahori" and "Hossein Israfili". The findings of the study indicate that these poets, with Palestine as their center, have addressed themes such as the unity of the nation and the concept of the Islamic homeland, the connection of resistance with religious and historical concepts, the description of the occupation and the crimes of the enemy, sacrifice and martyrdom, and the hope for the freedom and victory of Palestine.
