The Amal Movement (or Hope Movement in English, Arabic: โ€Ž แธคarakat Amal) is a Lebanese political party associated with Lebanon's Shia community. It was founded by Musa al-Sadr as the "Movement of the Dispossessed" in 1974. The Amal movement gained attention from Shia outcry after the disappearance of Musa al-Sadr and saw a renewal in popularity after Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1978. The Iranian Revolution of 1978โ€“79 also provided momentum for the party.[1] The Amal Movement is, by a small margin, the largest Shia party in parliament, having sixteen representatives to Hezbollah's thirteen. Amal has an alliance with the Progressive Socialist Party, and with Hezbollah.

 

The movement's current name was originally used by the Movement of the Deprived ( in Arabic) militia, the "Lebanese Resistance Regiments" (Arabic: โ€Ž). This name, when abbreviated, created the acronym "Amal", which is Arabic for "hope".[2]
