👉 Hawza of Najaf in the context of Islamic Dawa Party

The Islamic Dawa Party (Arabic: حزب الدعوة الإسلامية, romanizedḤizb ad-Daʿwa al-Islāmiyya) is an Iraqi Shia Islamist political movement that was formed in 1957 by seminarians in Najaf, Iraq, and later formed branches in Lebanon and Kuwait. The party backed the Iranian Revolution and also Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini during the Iran–Iraq War. It supported the invasion of Iraq. Iran played a crucial role in the development of the movement, especially its Lebanese branch which later became Hezbollah. The Islamic Dawa Party is led by Nouri al-Maliki.

According to recent analysis, in 2019, the Dawa Party was reportedly suffering from internal divisions and was in danger of losing its "political relevance".
