It is clear that love of one's homeland is an innate matter, and the fundamental principle is that a Muslim's loyalty is to their general homeland. There is no impediment to publishing the book and taking payment for it, as long as its domain is permissible, especially if it addresses the struggle of a Muslim people against the disbelievers, even if it includes reporting some objectionable matters. Historians are lenient in reporting, and the money obtained from this publication is lawful.
