The second specialized meeting of the Conference of Mujahideen in Exile titled "Political Sociology of Resistance and Reconstruction of Identity and Civilizational Community from the Perspective of the Martyr Leader (May God have mercy on him)" was held in the meeting hall of the Islamic Research Foundation of the Astan Quds Razavi. This scientific and intensive meeting examined the theoretical foundations and field developments of the discourse of resistance, and in the final section, Dr. Seyyed Javad Hosseini, as the session secretary, presented supplementary points and a final summary.
Epistemological Challenges in the Research Literature of Resistance
Dr. Yasser Ghazvini began this meeting by exploring the epistemological challenges in the research literature of resistance. He analyzed the fundamental differences between the two interpretations of "Axis of Resistance" and "Front of Resistance" through the genealogy of this concept in social sciences. Ghazvini noted that the term Front of Resistance reflects a truth arising from the text of religion, while the term Axis of Resistance reproduces the playing field of the hegemonic system in contrast to the Axis of Evil.

Analysis of Resistance Trends in Modern Social Sciences
Dr. Majid Motahharinejad continued the meeting by critiquing common paradigms such as Marxism, post-structuralism, and post-colonial theories. He stated that these schools, due to their reliance on a secular worldview, are unable to explain the fundamental role of religion and divine values. By introducing the authentic model of the mobilization of the oppressed and regional resistance networks such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hashd al-Shaabi in Iraq, and Ansar Allah in Yemen, he demonstrated that Islamic resistance is not merely a local defensive reaction but a cohesive, proactive, and transnational military force that transcends the borders between nation-states and plays a role in various domains of governance, justice-seeking, and the reconstruction of social structures.
Dr. Haji-Mohammadi, in explaining the identity crisis as a major crisis and the central challenge of the Islamic world arising from the tension between tradition and modernity, explored the position of resistance in overcoming this crisis. He emphasized that the desired resistance in the thought of the Martyr Leader (May God have mercy on him) acts as a driving, constructive, and meaning-giving force to human existence, functioning as an epistemological shield.
In the final section of the meeting, Dr. Seyyed Javad Hosseini, as the session secretary, presented profound analytical points and, referring to the pathology of deviant currents in the first decade of the Islamic Revolution, explained the great art of the Martyr Leader (May God have mercy on him) in deeply conceptual surgery and creating a distinguishing chapter between authentic resistance and deviant currents. He emphasized that the Martyr Leader (May God have mercy on him), with careful and precise epistemological engineering, sought from the beginning to steer the files of the resistance nuclei in the region, such as the establishment of Hezbollah in Lebanon, away from the deviations of mere militarism and to implement an approach suitable for the cultural, social, and civilizational needs in the geography of the Islamic world.
