The Islamic Da'wa Party of Iraq was formed in 1957 in the Iraqi holy City of Najaf. Their aim was to create a movement which would promote Islamic values and ethics, and which would become an instrument for political activeness.

This came at a time when there was widespread ignorance about religion and politics in Iraq. Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr laid out the foundations for the party and its political ideology, based on Wilayat Al-Ummah (Governance of the people).

The Islamic Da'wa Party is a political party in Iraq which is a component of the United Iraqi Alliance. It split from the Islamic Da'wa Party during the ousted regime of Saddam Hussein when most of the leaders of Da'wa were in exile.

It was allocated 12 seats by the Alliance after the elections in December 2005.

It is led by Hashim Al-Mousavi, who is its current Secretary-General. The head of the parliamentary bloc of the party is Qasim Muhammad Taqi al-Sahlani.
