Muslim Youth (
Sazman-i Jawanan-i Musulman) was an
Islamist group founded in 1969 in
Kabul by several Afghan junior professors and a handful of students at
Kabul University. Many of the leading figures of the
Afghan-Soviet war were members of this group, including Professor Mawlavi Habibur Rahman, Engineer Habibur Rahman, Saifuddin Nasratyar, and Engineer
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
