Originality of Shi'ism in Iraq goes back to the time of [[Imam Ali (a)]], where it became expanded and stretched in other territories such as [[Iran]]. Although Shi'ite government were ruling in Iraq, including [[Hamdani]], [[Buyid]], and [[Safavid]], they were merely influential in administrative affairs. However by the time [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] established their government, Shi'ite Muslims were removed from political authorities.

[[Al-Da'wa party]], an influential political party in Iraq, was founded in that time, which kept Shi'a Muslims active and helped them to play a crucial role in achieving independence of Iraq.
