Abdul Rahim Mahmoud Abdul Halim Abdullah was born in the town of Anabta in the Tulkarm Governorate in 1913. He is married and has two sons and a daughter. He studied the basic stage at Anabta Elementary School and Tulkarm Intermediate School, and the secondary stage at Al-Najah National School in Nablus, from which he obtained his high school diploma in 1931. He completed a training course at the Police School in Bethlehem on February 1, 1933, and received the rank of lieutenant from the Iraqi Military College in 1940. He completed an officers' training course at Qatana Camp in Syria in 1948. He worked in the police force in Nazareth in 1933, and was appointed as an Arabic language teacher at Al-Najah National School (1933-1937), then as a teacher and principal of Al-Ashar School in Basra between (1940-1941), then as a teacher at Al-Najah National School between (1942-1947). He became an officer in the Arab Liberation Army in 1948, and was appointed as the Discipline Commander in Tulkarm, and became an assistant to the commander of the Hittin Regiment of the Arab Liberation Army in Nazareth.
He became involved in the national movement in his early youth, resigned from the police force after being asked to pursue a resistance fighter, and left his job in education to join the ranks of the armed resistance during the Great Palestinian Revolt between (1936-1939), under the leadership of Abdul Rahim Al-Hajj Muhammad. He secretly left Palestine for Syria and from there to Iraq in 1940, and in Baghdad he met Abdul Qadir Al-Husseini. He joined Rashid Ali Al-Kilani’s revolt in Iraq in 1941 and participated in several battles during the Nakba events in the Marj Ibn Amer and Galilee region.
He began composing poetry while he was a student in school, influenced by his teachers Abdul Rahim Al-Khatib Al-Bitawi and Ibrahim Touqan. His first famous poem was “Najm Al-Saud,” which he recited on the occasion of Prince Saud bin Abdul Aziz’s visit to Palestine and his passing through the town of Anabta in 1935. He has other poems that gained great popularity, such as “The Balfour Declaration” (1935), “The Martyr” (1937), and “The Heroic Martyr” (1939). He composed most of his poems and published them in Palestinian newspapers and magazines between 1942 and 1948. He wrote a number of articles and plays, and earned the title of the Martyr Poet and the Fighting Poet. His poetry collection was first published in Amman in 1958, and then republished with additions in 1974, 1985, and 1988. Some studies and research have been conducted on his work, and master's theses have been written about his poetry. The municipal council in Nablus decided to name one of the city's streets after him, and the municipal council in Anabta did the same, naming the Anabta secondary school after him.
Mahmoud suffered in his life; he was pursued by the British forces during the Great Palestinian Revolt, and was forced to leave Palestine and take refuge in Iraq in 1940. He was hit by a shell during the attack on the “Al-Shajara” settlement near the village of Al-Shajara in the district of Tiberias, and was martyred on July 13, 1948, and was buried in Nazareth.
