“The Compass and Resilience”… a transformation of an article into a reflection of conscience and a historical document, is an emotional work compiling articles written during the recent Gaza War. The writer utilized her pen to convey the pulse of that moment, documenting the authentic Jordanian stances recorded by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, during one of the greatest episodes of Jordanian solidarity with the Palestinian cause. It etches in memory and recalls the loud, great voice of His Majesty King Abdullah II confronting injustice, and the brave positions taken by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah in defending the humanity of the Palestinian people, along with the tireless efforts of the Jordanian state across political, diplomatic, and humanitarian levels. The book, titled with significant meaning and message by the author, reflects Jordan’s commitment in leadership, government, and people to support Palestine and keep the compass focused on Jerusalem as a central and moral issue not open to compromise. Through her articles, Al-Qaisi emphasizes that the Jordanian stance is deeply rooted in the nation's conscience and history, with Jordan continuing as the steadfast support for the cause, and the voice that rises when others remain silent. The author, Nadia Ibrahim Al-Qaisi, begins her book with an impactful and profound introduction, akin to a national anthem penned with a fighting spirit, under the literary prelude titled “Here We Stand”, where she declares: “Here we stand, the stand of the mighty, our arms wrapped with the strength of blood and determination, intertwined like ancient olive trees, deep-rooted in this pure land since eternity. We stand here, on the soil of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, where we were born on the banks of a dream, that one day a victory, not far away, will be proclaimed loudly, calling: ‘Free and proud land of Palestine.’ Jordan and Palestine, where distances are not measured in kilometers but in creed and belonging, where geography is weighed by the scale of sacrifices and honorable heroic positions. Between the river and the sea, between the scent of the black keffiyeh and the aroma of the red Jordanian shemagh, we build the story of a people that never surrendered, and a great nation that never compromised. For Jordan is the steadfast shoulder that never tired of carrying the Palestinian cause, the compassionate heart that never let down the pulse of Palestine. Hence, Jerusalem has always been our moral compass; and we have always been its kin and support, no matter the adversities that pressed upon us and the ordeals that exhausted us. Therefore, Palestine remains the deep wound that will only heal with the realization of that stubborn dream, and the hope that will never fade, like a sun that will shine brightly in its freedom one day, reality in our existence as in our beautiful dreams.” Al-Qaisi concludes her introduction by adding: “The Compass and Resilience is not just a historical record, but a call to the spirit and emotions written about a people who resist with dignity and plant optimism in soil burdened by restraints; a people enduring, who never compromised their pride. I write about my Jordanian homeland, unwavering in defending the oppressed. I write because I believe the path to freedom begins deep in memory, extends with the light of insight, and is drawn on the walls of patience. And when borders of maps limit us, our hearts remain the compass… and resilience our only way to remain.” The book “The Compass and Resilience” stands as a living testament and conscience document of the dignified Jordanian stances witnessed in the past period, forming part of our national and communal narrative. The book cover bears profound symbolism: the Palestinian keffiyeh alongside the Jordanian shemagh, as if the writer says – without saying – that the roots are the same, the pain is shared, and destiny is indivisible between the river and sea.
