Adopting a genealogical and process-oriented approach, this study analyzes the formation of a resistant identity within the epistemological framework of the Holy Qur’an. The central research issue moves beyond prevalent descriptive and enumerative approaches by explaining resistance not as an isolated virtue, but as the culminating product of a systematic human development project. The article argues that, in the Qur’an, stable identity is constructed and acquired, emerging from the systemic integration of three key concepts: patience (sabr) as psychological capacity and driving force; steadfastness (istiqāmah) as the structuring principle and backbone of an identity aligned with the path of truth; and resistance (muqāwamah) as its active manifestation and outward expression.
The findings indicate that this formative process is grounded in four ontological and psychological pillars:
(1) Firm faith as the foundation providing ontological security;
(2) Sincerity (ikhlāṣ) as a compass purifying intention in actions devoted to God;
(3) Reliance on God (tawakkul) as an advanced psychological technology for managing anxiety and focusing on duty; and
(4) Supplication (du‘ā’) as a strategic act connecting to the inexhaustible source of power.
Accordingly, this research concludes that the Qur’an does not merely extol perseverance, but rather delineates a practical and psychological roadmap for constructing the resistant human by explicating this formative process and presenting detailed exemplary models (uswa ḥasana).
