Abstract : Since the beginning of humanity, peoples around the world have strived to preserve their distinctiveness and uniqueness by forming an identity that elevates the status of individuals and communities socially, nationally, and culturally. This study addresses the concept of identity in contemporary narrative discourse, focusing on the novel " The Nights Pregnant with Moons" by Muammar Hajeij. It explores the cultural and social structures within the novel that reflect the deeply rooted Islamic dimension in the narrative character and the conflict between self and the other. The study concludes that identity forms a strong sense of belonging and pride, both on an individual and collective level, and that this sense of identity is reinforced by returning to the true religion and authentic cultural references. As highlighted in the study, literature serves as a true bastion of the nation's identity and a weapon in its confrontation with intellectual and cultural conflicts, ensuring the continuity of its existence in the face of challenges. Keywords: Identity, underlying pattern, symbolic discourse, Islamic dimension, self and the other.
