Hezbollah faces challenges regarding its role in Lebanon and the region, its vision of the state under whose laws it lives, and the nation it defends. These issues became complex after Hezbollah became an influential force in regional transformations due to its active participation beyond its nation's borders. It was necessary to address these issues and present Hezbollah's vision of the state and its understanding of relations within a diverse society. The approach involved combining the vision with a presentation of the historical path to clarify ideas and provide evidence. Consequently, facts and truths, published for the first time from the founding sessions of Hezbollah to the intervention in Syria, and including events like the July War, are revealed either in the text or footnotes in a sequence tied to the book's core idea. This idea revolves around Hezbollah's story with the Lebanese state and its interaction as a resistance against occupation or a political party with a public role. Understanding what Hezbollah faces requires returning to the sources of its vision for the nation and state, and whether it allows coexistence with a state that does not apply its religious and political views, being committed to the transnational concept of Wilayat al-Faqih. It necessitated an exploration of history from the perspective of Lebanon's formation as a nation and state and the historical groups' roles in this formation, including the group Hezbollah belongs to.
