The subgenre of religious educational video game usually consists of simple games targeted to a young audience, with uncomplicated plots and goals, and with the main purpose of teaching players about the main principles of that particular faith. While the purpose of such games are religious education, some of the context and ideology behind them, which view certain political events through the value-laden prism of a specific group, may prove to be problematic to other faiths. In creating the game, Innovative Minds was unconcerned with this and instead focused their efforts on designing an educational game with colourful animation and sound effects that would teach players about Islamic [Surah] and ahādīth. Innovative Minds' stated educational goal for the game is to "offer Muslim-inspired children's video games and other resources online in order to strengthen users' knowledge about Islam", including to encourage a better understanding of Islam in the West. In the case of "The Resistance", the game's authors argue that it was "designed to respond to Zionist expansion and aggression".
