Qutb-ul Aqtaab Naqib Al Ashraaf Syed Abd ar-Rahman al-Qadri al-Gillani (Arabic: عبد الرحمن الكيلاني النقيب;‎ 11 January[citation needed] 1841 – 13 June 1927) was the first prime minister of Iraq.

He lived most of his life as an Ottoman and studied under Sultan Abdul Hamid II who strongly supported him on the issue of Palestine when he was young.

He used his influence to oppose the appointment of Faisal I as King of Iraq and resigned from his post when his efforts were defeated.

Even though Al-Gillani was reinstated, his powers were greatly diminished as the king and the British took more prominent roles in appointing ministers and other government officials.

[5] Al-Gillani and his role in the Ottoman Empire was briefly mentioned in the Iraqi television drama Sarah Khatoon, which aired on Al Sharqiya.
