Haq is a former religious school leader in Akora Khattak, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, in the northwest of the country, where several leaders of the Afghan Taliban group are being trained. That's why he was nicknamed the "father of the Taliban".
He was also a member of the Senate in 1985-1991 and 1991-1997. And in the July general elections, he joined Pakistan's ruling Tehreek-e-Insaf party.
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, visiting China, condemned the killing and ordered the opening of an investigation into the incident.
Sami ul Haq was born on December 18, 1937 in Akora Khattak, in the border province of northwestern British India (today Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan).
His father was Moulana Abdul Haq, who studied at Darul Uloom Deoband in India. He began his studies in 1946 in Darul Uloom Haqqania, founded by his father.
There he studied fiqh, usul al-fiqh, Arabic literature, logic, Arabic grammar (sarf and nahw), interpretations and hadith. He is therefore fluent in Arabic, Urdu, the Pakistani national language and the Pashtun regional language.
Haq is a spiritual leader who sympathizes with the Taliban. In America, he said, "Give them a year and they will make all of Afghanistan happy," he said.
