Jamiat Ulema-e Islam Pakistan (Urdu: (جمیعت علمائے اسلام, lit. 'Assembly of Islamic Clerics'; JUI) is a Deobandi Sunni political party in Pakistan. Established as the Jamiat Ulema-e Islam in 1945, it is the result of a factional split in 1988, F standing for the name of its leader, Fazal-ur-Rehman.
It is entirely based in southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and northern parts of BalochistanThe JUI-S faction, led by Samiul Haq, is of regional significance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but has no representation on the national level. The split of JUI into two factions was due to dissent over the policy of Pakistani president Zia-ul-Haq of supporting Mujahideen outfits in the Afghanistan war during the 1980s. A more recent faction, Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam Nazryati (JUI-N), split from JUI-F in 2007, and merged back into it in 2016.
