'Abd al-Razzaq al-Hasani was an Iraqi historian and politician.[1] Al-Hasani was a prominent proponent of Iraqi nationalism.[2] He was also a proponent of Arab nationalism.[3] Al-Hasani in a 1924 article titled "Shi'i Majority in Iraq" warned of the dangers of discrimination by the Sunni-dominated government against the Shi'a majority of Iraq's citizens as having the potential to harm attempts to forge national unity in Iraq.[4]

Al-Hasani was a strong opponent of the the British Mandate of Mesopotamia and British influence in Iraq, claiming the British believed that power in the mandate belonged to them alone and not to Iraqis at all.[5]
