穆克塔达·萨德尔是伊拉克宗教和政界领袖。他还是“救世主军”领袖。萨德尔强烈反对在伊美军，但恪守2005年停战协定，此举也缓解了暴力冲突。如今，萨德尔正在努力成为一名什叶派阿亚图拉，并受到数百万伊拉克人民的厚爱。

Sadr is the fourth son of the late Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Sadeq Al-Sadr, a famous Shi‘a cleric. As a child, Muqtada attended a religious seminary but did not finish his education. After his father's assassination, he took over the charity and social work his father had controlled. He immediately became very popular with his Shi’a followers.

萨德尔是大阿亚图拉老萨德尔的第四个儿子，“阿亚图拉”为什叶派牧师。孩童时期，萨德尔进入神学院学习，但未能完成学业。父亲遇刺后，小萨德尔接替父亲的慈善和社会工作。随即获得什叶派上下的拥戴。

In 2003, the US-led coalition set up the Coalition Provisional Authority and Iraqi Governing Council (IGC). Sadr decided to enter the political stage. He stated that he had more right to govern Iraq than the IGC. He formed his own shadow government. Since 2003, his Mahdi army has provided many important social services to the people of Sadr City in Baghdad.

2003年，美国主导联军设立美英临时管委会和伊拉克管理委员会。小萨德尔决定走入政坛。据他所说，比起伊拉克管理委员会，他对管理伊拉克拥有更多权力。并随即建立影子政府。自2003年起，他的“救世主军”向巴格达的萨德城居民提供了大量援助。

In 2004, Sadr's Mahdi Army demonstrated against the closure of Sadr’s newspaper and took over several key positions in Baghdad. After calling a truce, he told his soldiers to "do their duty" and go home. He boycotted the 2005 Iraqi election, saying it was a fraud. In 2007, Sadr went into exile in Iran. He continues to tell Iraqi soldiers and police not to work with American forces.

2004年，“救世主军”就关闭萨德城新闻社举行游行示威活动，并占领巴格达多处主要阵地。停火签订后，他要求士兵解甲归田。萨德尔抵制2005年伊拉克大选，并称之为骗局。2007年，萨德尔流亡伊朗。对于伊拉克士兵和警察武装，他仍告诫他们不要与美军合作。
