Islamic Action Society
The Islamic Action Society (Arabic: جمعية العمل الإسلامي Jamʿīyah al-ʿAmal al-ʾIslāmī), sometimes shortened to ʿAmal (Arabic: أمل), was one of the main Islamist political parties in Bahrain, and mainly appealed to Shīʻa followers of the Islamic philosopher Mohammad Hussaini Shirazi, who are known as "the Shirāzī faction". The party boycotted 2002's general election along with several other opposition groups, but did take part in 2006's parliamentary election, in which it won no seats.
