This book provides the first overview of the history and development of Islam in Afghanistan. Written by leading international experts; chapters cover every era from the conversion of Afghanistan through the medieval period to the present day. Based on primary sources in Arabic; Persian; Pashto; Uzbek; and Urdu; its depth of coverage is unrivalled in providing a developmental picture of Afghanistan’s Islam; including such issues as the rise of Sufism; women’s religiosity; state religious policies; and transnational Islamism. Looking beyond the unifying rhetoric of theology; the book reveals the disparate and contested forms of Afghanistan’s Islam.
