This study aimed to design a hybrid measurement tool, including questionnaire and checklist, to assess the indicators of Qur'an-based resistance management. Employing a qualitative content analysis method and purposive sampling from 10 authoritative Qur'anic commentaries (both Shiʻa and Sunni), a three-level model was developed, comprising three foundations, seven principles, and seven performance indicators. The findings indicate that Qur'anic teachings—such as <em>Tawhid</em> (monotheism), <em>Ma'ad</em> (eschatology), and <em>Wilayah</em> (guardianship)—provide a robust theoretical foundation for resistance management. The novelty of this study lies in transforming Qur'anic concepts into functional performance assessment tools within Islamic management. The final instrument comprises 21 questionnaire items and 21 checklist metrics, validated through 31 Qur'anic and management sources and the Delphi method. This tool is applicable in resistance-oriented organizations and can serve as an indigenous benchmark for evaluating resistance management performance in crisis situations. https://jcis.ut.ac.ir/article_106774_998cdf72920e809dc201710f989c90f8.pdf
