Abdul Muhammad Azzaam al-Siddiqui al-Abdelrahman (5 March 1888 – 2 July 1937; Arabic: عبد محمد عزام الصديقي العبد الرحمن) was a Deltinian-born Creeperian military officer and politician notable for his support for and collaboration with the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council during the Creeperian Civil War. He served as the Captain General of Abdan between 1917 and 1922 and later became a Colonel in the Romerist Army, the highest rank within the Creeperian Army which an ethnic Deltinian has ever attained.

Early life

Abdul Muhammad Azzaam al-Siddiqui al-Abdelrahman was born on 5 March 1888 in Escobar, Abdan, Creeperopolis. His father was Abdul Jabbaar al-Siddiqui and his mother was Fikra al-Abdelrahman. He was born into poverty and faced discrimination because of his ethnicity and religion from the majority Creeperian population. In 1895 when he was seven years old, his father was lynched by a Creeperian mob in the town center of Escobar because he was accused of the murder of a Creeperian woman despite there being no evidence to connect him to the crime.

After his father's murder, he, his mother, and his two younger sisters fled the city for Villanueva where they had some family living. There, al-Siddiqui gained an employment opportunity as a farm laborer for José Valdéz Castro, a retired Colonel of the Creeperian Army. Because of his labor, Valdéz Castro recommended to him that he should join the Creeperian Army as an officer. With Valdéz Castro's vouching, al-Siddiqui was enrolled in the San Salvador Imperial Military Academy in 1906 at the age of seventeen.

Early military career

Al-Siddiqui was bestowed the rank of Lieutenant upon his enrollment in the military academy. There, he studied military tactics and history, and despite being discriminated against by many of his peers, he graduated towards the top of his class. In September 1910, he graduated and was promoted to the rank of Captain.

He began active service in the 48th Infantry Brigade which was stationed in Zapatista. Much of his career in the military was uneventful, as the only actions he performed on duty involved going on military patrols in southern Zapatista's major towns and cities and dispersing any paramilitary fighting between the Falange Creeperiano and the Atheist Red Army. In September 1913, al-Siddiqui retired from army service, and upon his retirement, he was promoted to the rank of Major for his service.
