Abstract
The necessity of paying attention to the views of contemporary commentators for understanding cultural issues is one of the significant and fundamental topics in Islamic studies and the humanities. The perspectives of contemporary commentators, by offering novel interpretations and new approaches to the Holy Quran, not only contribute to deepening religious understanding but also play a crucial role in analyzing and comprehending contemporary cultural issues. These interpretations, taking into account social, cultural, and scientific changes, aim to elucidate Quranic concepts and adapt them to the conditions of the time. In this context, exploring the components of resistance culture, understood as a life oriented toward resistance, is a matter of great importance. It is considered a macro-strategy in recent decades, aimed at sustaining progress toward achieving lofty goals and overcoming obstacles. In the present study, using a
descriptive-analytical method and focusing on the Arabic exegetical work *Munyat al-Talibin fi Tafsir al-Quran al-Mubin*, the important topic of resistance culture is examined from the perspective of Ayatollah Sobhani, one of the prominent contemporary Shiite thinkers. The most significant findings indicate that Ayatollah Sobhani, in explaining resistance culture in society, emphasizes components such as the necessity of adhering to covenants, not turning away from monotheistic religion, taking action to reject polytheism, maintaining doctrinal and behavioral steadfastness, committing to religious outreach, and resilience in the face of hardships. Through this lens, it can be asserted that resistance culture strengthens national identity and increases social cohesion, playing a vital role in the development and sustainability of society. It also serves as an important tool in preserving national independence and security.
