The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam ( , abbreviated as JUI , translated as Assembly of Islamic Clergy) is a Deobandi Sunni Muslim organization that was founded on 26 October 1945 by Shabbir Ahmad Usmani as a pro-Pakistan offshoot of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind (JUH). Politically active, JUI has militated against un-Islamic groups and practices, such as the Shi'i sect, the sale of alcoholic beverages, and the anti-Islamic group of Qadiyanis.1 It has run candidates for office in Pakistani provincial and national elections, and splintered into several groups in 1980, 2007, and 2020. In March 2019, after the decline of a competing faction JUI-S, the Election Commission of Pakistan reportedly allowed Moulana Fazal-ur-Rehman to have his JUI-F party use the old name of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam with no added letter F.
