Islamic Amal (in Arabic أمل الإسلامية) was a Lebanese Shia military movement based in Baalbek in the Beqaa Valley.

The movement got its start in June 1982 when Nabih Berri, the head of Amal, agreed to participate in the Salvation Committee, a body set up by President Elias Sarkis following the Israeli invasion.

[citation needed] Islamic Amal was backed by officials in the Iranian government, and it coordinated with units of Iran's (Pasdaran) Revolutionary Guards stationed around Baalbek.

[citation needed] Press reports linked Islamic Amal, like Hezbollah, to anti-Western violence in Lebanon.

However, the movement later became involved in armed resistance against the Israeli occupation of Lebanon and the Lebanese Civil War.
