Mawtini has been described as a reflection of the shared experiences and struggles of Arab peoples, evoking strong emotions tied to national pride, hardship, and the aspiration for freedom.

It is regarded as a symbol of resistance and a representation of the collective longing for liberation during periods of occupation and oppression.

The anthem conveys emotions such as sorrow, anger, and hope, fostering a sense of renewal and solidarity among those who have endured similar adversities.

Its lyrics express a deep love for the homeland, a commitment to its liberation, and a vision of a united and free nation.

This message resonates widely across the Arab world, reflecting the shared struggles for independence, identity, and sovereignty.

[4][5][6] Many Arab artists have re-sung the anthem with new distributions, such as Elissa, Christina Sawaya, and Faia Younan in a video clip that depicted the Syrian civil war.

It served as Palestine's de facto national anthem from its inception to 1996 when it was officially replaced by "Fidā'ī".
