Hadas (Template:Lang-ar; acronym: Arabic: الحركة الدستورية الإسلامية, or Al-Haraka Al-Dosturiya Al-Islamiyah or "Islamic Constitutional Movement,") is a Kuwaiti Islamist political organization.[1] The party is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.

History and profile

Hadas was established on 31 March 1991 following the liberation of Kuwait from the Iraqi invasion in the Gulf War. The group of people who started the Movement and still control it are Kuwaiti Islamists following the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood,[1][2] most notably is Jassem Mohalhel.

The Bader Al-Nashi was secretary general of Hadas between 2003 and July 2009.[3][4] It has three members in the current National Assembly of Kuwait.
