He was also a notable supporter of the Afghan Taliban, and after he returned with "extremely positive impressions" from Afghanistan and wrote a book as advice for the Talibans, titled Obedience to the Amir and composed in 1998 or 1999, Mullah Omar was so impressed that he distributed Pashto and Dari versions of it to the visitors, saying it perfectly represented the Talibans’ ideology[9] while Barnett Rubin states that this "manual on how to run a militant organization" helped the Taliban "devise an organizational model that suppressed tribalism and patronage network more effectively than any other organization in Afghanistan."[10]
