The author believes that the historical experience has proved that the liberation of Palestine is linked to Islam, from the age of Futuh to the Crusades and the confrontation of the Tatars and until our contemporary times. The various ideologies that have dominated the Arab and Palestinian public discourse and politics in our modern history, whether leftist, nationalist, or region-oriented, have failed to lead a real liberation project. Although the Islamic trend was fiercely fought in the region and deprived of the means of revival and empowerment, especially in the strategic surrounding area of Palestine, Islam has remained the main motivator of revolutions, resistance action and the uprisings of the Palestinian people over the past hundred years. For more than two decades, the Palestinian Islamic resistance has represented the backbone of the armed resistance forces in Palestine.
The battle for the liberation of Palestine is a continuous one that does not stop until the complete liberation of the land and the defeat of the Zionist project. It is a battle that many generations will bear, generation after generation until victory and liberation. Defeats, setbacks, frustrations, betrayals from near and far and corruption of regimes and their rulers should not be reasons for giving up any part of the blessed land. Rather, it should constitute a motive for the faithful to conduct revisions, draw lessons, redouble efforts and creativity and fulfil the conditions of success.
Due to the desire of many readers to learn about the entire history of Palestine and its issue from an Islamic point of view, this book was written. It is a scientifically documented academic book, full of information, easy to read, while trying to draw lessons from this history. The book calls on the Ummah to insist on its right, while stressing that the Zionist project is aggressive and expansionist, and a settler-colonial project of population replacement. It is not only hostile to the Palestinian people but also to the whole Ummah, especially the Arab-Muslim environment surrounding it. This is one of the stages of Palestine’s history that will end, as did the aggression and occupations that preceded it, however, this will happen when the Ummah comes to its senses and gathers strength, regains unity and starts its revival.
This book is a specialized and indispensable historical reference for all researchers, students, and those concerned with the study of the history of Palestine and the role of the Islamic movement there.
