Hizballah or Hisbollah (Arab., ḥizb Allah, ‘party of God’). Quranic term for Muslims as opposed to idolators, in the early struggle for Islam (5. 62, 58. 23). The term has been repeatedly adopted by movements within Islam (e.g. by Indonesian rebels in 1945), as, recently, by a radical group in the Lebanon, which retained links with Iran.
