Abstract

The following article will shed light on the initial phase of the Shiʿi encounter with the Palestinian question during the British mandate over Iraq. It will focus on the thought of a prominent Shiʿi cleric of the time, Muhammad Husayn Al Kashif al-Ghitaʾ, who published numerous fatwas in support of the Arabs of Palestine. In the context of Iraq's strong identification with Palestine, his strong rhetoric was not exceptionally unique. The novelty in Kashif al-Ghitaʾ's discourse was in mitigating its Shiʿi angle, viewing himself not only as a Shiʿi mujtahid but as an Arab and pan-Islamic leader, disregarding the historical apolitical position of Shiʿa Islam. Kashif al-Ghitaʾ embraced several circles of identifications: the Shiʿi community, the Arab world, and the Islamic nation, even incorporating the broader notion of humanity, reflecting his reformist agenda of activism, renewal, and pan-Islam. He also took an important stand within the Shiʿi community, given the diverse Shiʿi positions on Arabism. Any attempt at mobilizing the Arab and Muslim masses was welcomed by Hajj Amin al-Husayni as Kashif al-Ghitaʾ planted the first seeds in Shiʿi support for the Palestinian question—framed in a non-Shiʿa discourse—during this initial stage of building the Palestinian national movement.

摘要

以下文章将阐明什叶派在英国委任统治伊拉克期间遇到巴勒斯坦问题的初始阶段。它将关注当时著名的什叶派教士穆罕默德·侯赛因·阿尔·卡希夫·吉塔 (Muhammad Husayn Al Kashif al-Ghita) 的思想，他发表了许多支持巴勒斯坦阿拉伯人的教令。在伊拉克强烈认同巴勒斯坦的背景下，他的强硬言论并不是特别独特。Kashif al-Ghitaʾ 话语的新颖之处在于减轻了它的 Shiʿi 角度，不仅将自己视为 Shiʿi mujtahid，而且将自己视为阿拉伯和泛伊斯兰领袖，无视什叶派伊斯兰教的历史非政治立场。Kashif al-Ghitaʾ 拥抱了几个认同圈子：Shiʿi 社区、阿拉伯世界和伊斯兰民族，甚至融入了更广泛的人性概念，反映了他的激进主义、复兴和泛伊斯兰教的改革议程。考虑到什叶派对阿拉伯主义的不同立场，他还在什叶派社区中占据重要地位。Hajj Amin al-Husayni 欢迎任何动员阿拉伯和穆斯林群众的尝试，因为 Kashif al-Ghitaʾ 在什叶派支持巴勒斯坦问题中播下了第一颗种子 - 在非什叶派话语中构建 - 在建设巴勒斯坦人的初始阶段民族运动。
