Khalil Al Hindawi (1906, Sidon – 1976, Aleppo) was a Syrian writer and poet. [1]
Hindawi finished his studies at Al Makasid Islamic and Charitable Association in Saïda in 1924, and started teaching there when he was 17 years old.[ citation needed] He was exiled from Lebanon by French authorities after delivering a poem in a national ceremony, welcoming Riad as-Solh, who was coming back from his exile for the first time in 1928.[ citation needed] He was sent to Syria, and he stayed in Damascus during the First World War.[ citation needed]
In 1929, he worked as a teacher at Deir ez-Zor high school in Syria, and started writing in Al Risala and Al Muktataf magazines.[ citation needed] In 1939, he moved to Aleppo at the request of Saadallah al-Jabiri (later to become Prime Minister of Syria in 1943). He taught in Aleppo high schools until his retirement in 1966.[ citation needed]
Hindawi is considered by the Syrian Ministry of Education to be the first teacher who knew the value of the text and was interested in analyzing it and offering insights into the form of a literature review.[ citation needed] He did that in the 1930s, when people were only repeating the translation of the writers at that time, and totally depending on literary historians' provisions.[ citation needed]
He was appointed Director of the Arab Cultural Center of Aleppo in 1958.[ citation needed]
He was a member of the United Arab Republic delegation to the Asian-African writers' conference that was held in Tashkent in 1958.[ citation needed]

He was a member of the Syrian delegation to the Arab writers' conference that was held in Damascus in 1971.[ citation needed]
He held the presidency of the Arab Writers Union in Aleppo until his death in 1976.[ citation needed]
A ceremony in the honor of Khalil Al hindawi was organized by the Arab Writers Union and the faculty of Arts at Aleppo University in March 1974.[ citation needed] The occasion was to mark half a century of his literary work.[ citation needed]
