Burhanuddin Rabbani ( Burhânuddîn Rabbânî ; 20 September 1940 – 20 September 2011 ) was President of the Islamic State of Afghanistan from 1992 to 1996.

After the Taliban government was toppled during Operation Enduring Freedom, Rabbani returned to Kabul and served as a temporary President from November to December 20, 2001, when Hamid Karzai was chosen at the Bonn International Conference on Afghanistan.

Rabbani was also the leader of Jamiat-e Islami Afghanistan ( Islamic Society of Afghanistan ), which has close ties to Pakistan's Jamaat-e-Islami.
