founding
The group's roots go back to the 1960s at the Faculty of Islamic Theology at the University of Kabul : some theologians working with Ghulam Mohammed Niyazi , who studied at al-Azhar University in Cairo , advised on the path to an Islamic society in informal groups . Influenced by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood , they finally founded the Jamiat-i Islāmī in 1968.
The political leadership of the Jamiat-i Islāmī took over Burhānuddin Rabbāni , also an al-Azhar graduate, who headed it until he was assassinated on September 20, 2011. In 1969 the Jamiat merged with the Islamist forces at the engineering faculty, including Gulbuddin Hekmatyār . In the years 1975–1977, however, the Islamist movement split again into the Jamiat-i Islāmī with Rabbani at the head and the Hizb-i Islāmī, led by Hekmatyār.
