History of Islamic Resistance in Lebanon 4

Amal; the first Islamic movement
The activities of Imam Musa Sadr and Mustafa Chamran, which eventually led to the establishment of the Amal movement, can be considered the first Islamist movement in the region. The importance of this issue lies in the fact that the period of the movement’s founding dates back to the 1970s, the years in which the two worlds were practically dominated by the two ideas of the Marxist left and pan-Arabism. Therefore, the success of Imam Sadr and Martyr Chamran in the “Amal” movement can be considered unique.
