Muhibb al-Din al-Khatib (Arabic: محب الدين الخطيب, romanized: Muḥibb al-Dīn al-Khaṭīb; 1886 – 30 December 1969) was a Syrian Islamic scholar of Salafism.[1][2][3][4] He was the maternal uncle of Ali al-Tantawi[5] and was the author of the "hate filled" anti-Shia pamphlet entitled al-Khutut al-Arida (The broad lines of the foundations upon which the religion of the Imami Twelver Shiites is based).[6] He has been described as "one of the most influential anti-Shiite polemicists of the twentieth century."[7]
In 1916, he was made the editor of Al Qibla, the official newspaper of Sharif Hussein.[8]
