Qutb-ul Aqtaab Naqib al" target="_blank">Al Ashraaf Syed Abd ar-Rahman al" target="_blank">al-Qadri al" target="_blank">al-Gillani (Arabic: عبد الرحمن الكيلاني النقيب;‎ 11 January 1841 – 13 June 1927) was the first prime minister of Iraq. He was an important figure during the Ottoman and the British Eras, and he had an important role in the politics of Iraq.




Early life


al" target="_blank">Al-Gillani was born in Baghdad to a Sufi family. al" target="_blank">Al-Gillani was the 15th descendant of Abdul Qadir al" target="_blank">al-Gillani. His family has been known since ancient times for its scientific significance and councilmen and was known for his morality and love for his people. He was the captain of the Banu Hashim of the Quraishi tribe in Baghdad. He lived most of his life as an Ottoman and studied under Sultan Abdul Hamid II who strongly supported him on the issue of Palestine when he was young.




Political career


al" target="_blank">Al-Gillani was chosen in 1920 to head the Iraqi Council of Ministers following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Due to his good relations with the British and his personality, he was one of the candidates for the throne of Iraq. He refused to take the title out of renunciation of the King but agreed to be prime minister. He used his influence to oppose the appointment of Faisal I as King of Iraq and resigned from his post when his efforts were defeated. Nevertheless, Faisal still reappointed him as prime minister in order to curb opposition.
In 1922, al" target="_blank">al-Gillani negotiated the first Anglo-Iraqi Treaty, which ensured nominal independence for the country, though Britain maintained control of the military and foreign affairs, essentially establishing a Mandate in the country.
