Information

Haj Amin al-Husseini was a prominent Palestinian figure and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Born in Jerusalem, he studied the Qur’an, Arabic language, and religious sciences from an early age. He later studied French for two years and continued his education at Al-Azhar University in Cairo.

Al-Husseini served as Head of the Supreme Muslim Council and Chairman of the Arab Higher Committee. In 1915, he founded and led “The Arab Club,” which was the first political organization established in Palestine.

He oversaw the reorganization of Sharia courts across Palestine and chaired the Committee for the Restoration and Renovation of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.

He also regained control of Islamic endowments (waqf), which had previously been under the authority of the Jewish-British attorney general, Bentwich.

Additionally, Al-Husseini formed the “Commanding Good and Forbidding Evil” societies, aimed at reconciling disputes and countering Zionist efforts to persuade Arabs to sell their lands.
