Ash-Shaykh ‘Izz-ud-Din Al-Qassām

‘Izz-ud-Din Al-Qassām: A name that resonates with the spirit of resistance and the quest for justice. Born in the late Ottoman Empire’s Syrian province, Al-Qassam’s life was a testament to his unwavering commitment to his cause and his people. A scholar of Al-Azhar University, he emerged as a fervent Islamic revivalist preacher, advocating for the liberation of oppressed nations.

From the Libyan resistance against Italian rule to the anti-French struggles in Syria, Al-Qassam’s leadership was pivotal. His journey led him to Palestine, where he became a beacon of hope for the Muslim ummah, calling for a moral and military jihād against British rule and Zionist expansion.

Al-Qassam’s legacy is marked by his formation of local resistance groups, including the Black Hand, and his ultimate sacrifice in a British manhunt. He was an inspiration to the group that, today, call themselves Al-Qassām Brigades. His death ignited the flames/ of the 1936-1939 Arab revolt in Palestine, making him a symbol of defiance and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
