Religious authority is considered as one of the important and basic elements in world due to its wisdom and judiciousness in facing the different events and as it is the legal successor of the prophet mohammed and his progeny(p.u.th). the religious authority in al- najaf al-ashraf occupied the first rank by facing colonialism and its actions in and outside iraq. moreover it had followed up all the issues of the arab homeland, especially the palestinian issue and the actions of the chiefs of zionism. it also opposed the british colonialism which had supported zionism in its aim to occupy the arab lands. so the researcher decided to study (the religious authority attitude towards zionism)to recognize its actions and procedures in this aspect. the research is divided into an introduction, three topics, a conclusion and a bibliography. the research exhibits, in brief, the history of zionism till 1931, the religious authority attitude towards zionism(1932-1967), the zionists actions against the palestinian people, the condemnation of the men of al-hawza in al-najaf al-ashraf- like sheik mohammed hussain kashhif al-ghitaa, syed abul-qhasim al-khoo`yand syed mohsin al-hekeem, upon these nonhuman actions.
