The Islamic Unity of Afghanistan Mujahideen also known as the Seven Party Mujahideen Alliance was an Afghan organization formed in 1985 by the seven Afghan mujahideen parties fighting against the Soviet and Democratic Republic of Afghanistan forces in the Soviet-Afghan War. They fell into two categories, the fundamentalists: Islamic Party (Khalis), Islamic Party (Hekmatyar), Islamic Society (Rabbani), and Islamic Union for the Liberation of Afghanistan (Sayyaf), and the traditionalists: National Islamic Front for Afghanistan (Gailani), Afghanistan National Liberation Front (Mojaddedi), and Islamic Revolutionary Forces (Mohammadi).
