Sayyid Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid (born 1955) is a Shia cleric serving as a member of the Central Council of Hezbollah.[1] Affiliated with Hezbollah since its inception,[2] he has presided over the party's Political Council since 2001. He is recognized as a principal architect of the organization's political relations with both domestic and foreign entities, having succeeded Muhammad Ra'd, who held the position from 1995.[3]
Amin al-Sayyid was born in the Beqaa region of eastern Lebanon.[4] Alongside prominent figures such as Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Fadlallah, Subhi al-Tufayli, Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah, Sayyid Abbas al-Musawi, Na'im Qasim, Zuhayr Kanj, and Muhammad Yazbak, he is regarded as a founding member and key architect of Hezbollah.[5]

During his early tenure with Hezbollah, Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah briefly served as Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid's deputy in Beirut.[6] Sayyid Ibrahim has consistently adopted a stance against global arrogance (imperialism) in his rhetoric and policy positions, explicitly declaring his opposition to the Zionist Regime.[7] He has also articulated views regarding the influence of the Islamic Revolution of Iran[8] and the pivotal role of Imam Khomeini[9] in shaping regional developments, as well as the significance of International Quds Day[10] in unifying the Axis of Resistance.
Sayyid Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid has traveled to Iran on multiple occasions to meet and confer with state officials.[11] Notably, he met with Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), in the southern suburbs (Dahiyeh) of Lebanon.[12]
Among his scholarly contributions is the book Al-Jihad fi nazar al-Imam al-Sajjad (a) (Jihad in the View of Imam al-Sajjad).[13] Following the martyrdom of Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah, various media outlets and news agencies speculated regarding Sayyid Ibrahim Amin's potential succession as the Secretary-General of Hezbollah.[14]
