Mullah '''Mohammed Omar''' (Pashto: ملا محمد عمر‎, Mullā Muḥammad 'Umar; c. 1960– 23 April 2013), widely known as '''Mullah Omar''' and also known as '''Mohammed VI of Afghanistan''', was an Afghan mujahideen commander who founded the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in 1996. The [[Taliban]] recognized him as the Commander of the Faithful or the Supreme Leader of the Muslims until being succeeded by Mullah [[Akhtar Mansour]] in 2015. Some sources described Mullah Omar as "Head of the Supreme Council of Afghanistan". The Supreme Council was initially established at Kandahar in 1994.

Born into a poor family with no political connections, Omar joined the Afghan mujahideen in their war against the Soviet Union and the communist Democratic Republic of Afghanistan during the 1980s. He founded the Taliban in 1994 and by 1995 had captured much of southern Afghanistan; in September 1996, the Taliban took Kabul, the country's capital. During his tenure as Emir of Afghanistan, Omar seldom left the city of Kandahar and rarely met with outsiders. He was known for speaking little and living in austere conditions.

On 4 April 1996, supporters of Mullah Omar bestowed on him the title ''Amir al-Mu'minin'' (أمير المؤمنين, "Commander of the Faithful"), after he donned a cloak alleged to be that of Muhammad that was locked in a series of chests, held inside the Shrine of the Cloak in the city of Kandahar. Legend decreed that whoever could retrieve the cloak from the chest would be the great Leader of the Muslims, or "Amir al-Mu'minin".
