Biography
Muhammad Nabi Muhammadi was born in 1920 in Baraki Barak District, of Logar Province in Afghanistan. His grandfather, who migrated to Logar, was originally from the central Ghazni province. Mohammadi received his initial Islamic education from his religious father, and received secondary and high Islamic education from various well-known scholars in the Logar Province. In 1946, when he was 26, he finished all Islamic education and began to teach. He soon became famous for his profound classical knowledge, intellectual enlightenment, practical wisdom and pure spirituality. Students from all around Afghanistan gathered around him and most of them later became a part of his Islamic Revolution Movement (Harakat-i-Inqilab-i-Islami) and the Taliban movement.
This was during a time when Afghanistan had lost many of its Islamic traditions, and communism was slowly beginning to spread throughout the country. He contacted several ulema and created a strong union of religious scholars with whom to oppose Soviet propaganda and to attempt to inform the general population on the problems of communism.
