48No. 293 | May 2025AbstractThis paper explores the term %u201cYaum Al-Bara%u2019ah min Al-Mushrikin%u201d - commonly rendered as %u201cThe Day of Disavowal of the Unbelievers%u201d - within Islamic theological and eschatological frameworks and discusses its relevance in the context of the Palestinian struggle against oppression. By examining classical interpretations alongside modern political narratives, the study seeks to understand how this concept motivates resistance and hope among oppressed Muslim communities.1. IntroductionThe struggle of the Palestinian people has long been a symbol of resistance against occupation and injustice. Islamic political thought and eschatological narratives have, over centuries, provided both a moral framework and an inspirational promise for communities facing oppression. Among such narratives is the idea of %u201cYaum Al-Baraat min AlMushrikin.%u201d While rooted in Quranic language and classical exegesis, this concept has gained renewed significance as it is invoked in modern discourses of liberation and divine justice, particularly in relation to the Palestinian cause.2. Theological and Eschatological Foundations of Yaum al-Bara%u2019ah min al-Mushrikin%u201cYaum Al-Bara%u2019ah min Al-Mushrikin%u201d is an eschatological term that appears in Islamic literature to describe a future day when divine justice will purge the world of tyranny, oppression, and polytheistic transgressions. Although the phrase does not occur verbatim in the Quran, the spirit of divine retribution and ultimate moral accounting is embedded in several verses. For instance, the Quran states:%u201cAnd hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.%u201d (Surah Ali %u2018Imran 3:103)
