Samiul Haq
Samiul Haq was a notable Pakistani cleric and politician, often recognized as the 'Father of the Taliban' due to his influential role in the establishment of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. He founded the Darul Uloom Haqqania seminary, which became a breeding ground for many Taliban leaders. His involvement in both religious and political spheres made him a significant figure in Pakistan's history until his assassination in 2018. His legacy continued through his son, Hamidul Haq Haqqani, who succeeded him as the head of the seminary.
