Muslim Youth (Persian: سازمان جوانان مسلمان‎, Arabic: نهضة الشباب المسلم‎ ) was an underground 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 Burhanuddin Rabbani, `Abd al-Rabb Rasul Sayyaf, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and Ahmed Shah Massoud.

Famous quotes containing the words muslim and/or youth:

    For the salvation of his soul the Muslim digs a well. It would be a fine thing if each of us were to leave behind a school, or a well, or something of the sort, so that life would not pass by and retreat into eternity without a trace.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    If the quick fire of youth light not your mind,
    You are no maiden, but a monument.
    When you are dead, you should be such a one
    As you are now; for you are cold and stern.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
