Summary
This chapter consists of four sections. In the first, I analyze al-Shiqaqi’s view of history and the cause of the Palestinians’ problem, the historical dimension. In the second, I explore al-Shiqaqi’s religious argument for the centrality of the Palestinian cause, its Qur’anic dimension. By looking at the totality of dimensions pertaining to the Palestinian cause, I discuss “deeper awareness” (waʿy) in the third part as a concept in al-Shiqaqi’s thinking. Lastly, I conclude with a discussion of potential theoretical influences on al-Shiqaqi and how to categorize his thinking.
