Many of the party members belonged to the Naqshbandi-Mojadidi Tariqah, Afghanistan's largest religious and spiritual order.
Muhammad Ibrahim Mojadidi (Shaykh Ziaul Mashaw'ikh) is the son, and religious and spiritual heir to his father Nurul Mashaw'ikh Shaikh Fazl Omar Mojadidi (aka, Mullah Shore Bazaar) - the most influential and respected spiritual figure of Afghanistan.
[3] Khuddamul Furqan had a newspaper[2] called Neda-e-Haq (Voice of Truth) and its editor in Chief was Mawlavi Abdul Sattar Siddiqi.
After the imprisonment of the Mojadidi family by Soviet forces and their allies in 1979, namely M. Ibrahim Shaykh Ziaul Mashaw'ikh and his son, leader of Khuddamul Furqan M. Ismaiel Mojadidi, the party's name was changed to Harakat-e-Inqilab Islami, in order to continue its efforts against the Soviet occupation without harming its respected leaders in captivity.
Khuddamul Furqan was later revived in 2004 in Kabul and some of the party's members are playing an active role in the peace process in Afghanistan.
