Izz al-Din al-Qassam: Difference between revisions

al-Qassam achieved his wish after a few years of living in Haifa and formed an underground group. The two principles of this group were that each member had to provide his weapon and that he had to contribute financially to the group as much as possible. The sparks of al-Qassam's struggle against colonialism, along with his pursuit of knowledge, also paid special attention to the freedom movements and because of his mastery of Islamic sciences and his independent and anti-colonial views, he gained a high reputation and credibility among the people of Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine and had extraordinary power and influence among the people of the Middle East. For this reason, France and England, which were the colonial powers of that days and had divided the countries of the Middle East among themselves by a treaty, regarded him as their enemy. In Egypt, al-Qassam became acquainted with the British colonization and its authority over the nation and the national resources of the country, and at the same time, he was thinking about the necessity of fighting against the colonial forces. Organizing the Qassamites and the tasks and affairs, that he was in charge of in Haifa, gave him the opportunity to have more contact with the masses of people, especially the committed and enlightened groups. and in 1925 AD, he achieved his goal, which was to form an underground group or the "revolutionary nucleus " with the motive of fighting against colonialism and Zionism. While he was working as a lawyer in Haifa, he visited the villages of Palestine and in his contacts with the farmers in the villages and the worshipers, he was able to attract some of the revolutionary forces and organize them in secret groups. Al-Qassam carried out all his activities, which was fighting against the formation of a Jewish state, in complete secrecy and only those who had been tested by him for years and had proven their integrity and secrecy were aware of his activities and organization.
