The literature of resistance and endurance is the literature on the love of the values, national ideals and fighting, and it is replete with the ethical and human basics to which desperation and stillness cannot find a way; as a deterring instrument and weapon, such a type of literature has opened arms to set the ground for the revitalization, continuation, and persistence of the assaulted communities’ lives. Although such terminology pertains to the contemporary centuries, a precise look at the history of the world’s literature enables finding many samples of such terms inside the forerunners’ works. Amongst the global arena’s issues are Palestine and its occupation, the Islamic Revolution of Iran, and the imposed war, which have been hot topics in international circles during recent decades. Due to the same reason, introducing both the countries’ cultures of the fight by presenting the primary elements like resistance and endurance is a step towards advancing the two countries’ relations. The present study deals with the indicators of resistance and endurance literature and investigates the efforts and motivations for the actualization of resistance and endurance in the works by prominent authors in this area, namely Sayyed Hassan Hosseini and Ghassan Kanafani who are well-known in the Arabic and Persian literature. Kanafani is a Palestinian author, poet, and fighter (1936-1972), and Hosseini is an Iranian revolutionary and ritual poet (1956-2004); despite the large distance between these two authors, they have both portrayed many common and close themes like the love of the homeland, hope in the future, fight with tyranny, the suffering visage of the people, motivated hearts, resistance, sacrifice and martyrdom in an accentuated manner in their works.
