The books of history are the mandate of the nation and on them, the building of the identity of the nation stands. Today, a whole bunch of Orientalists is busy distorting our history. So there is a danger that if we do not preserve the history of our distant past as well as the recent times with the utmost care, honesty, and truthfulness, then there will be only poisonous material in the hands of the next generation in the name of history that the Orientalists are presenting.
The history of Afghanistan is especially the target of such intellectual attacks. The people of the West today are bent on proving the zealous Muslims of Afghanistan as terrorists through the media, and tomorrow they will compile a history of Afghanistan with the same material in which there will be misleading traps for our future generations.
To defend against these dangers, in 2004 Maulana Ismail Rehan started writing articles on the history of Afghanistan in the weekly Zarb-e-Momin. Initially, his goal was to compile a history of nearly two decades, specifically the Jihad against the Soviet Union and the Taliban’s Islamic era. But when the work began, it became clear that the whole of Afghanistan was so tied to its predecessor that it was impossible to ignore it.
Although every nation is captive to its past But the strong connection of Afghans with their Islamic history and traditions is unparalleled in any other nation of the world. Therefore, in this book, the whole Islamic era of Afghanistan has been re-examined so that the coming generations will be aware of its true history.
When these articles were published in the weekly Zarb-e-Momin, they became very popular among the people, which shows that our nation, especially the youth, has a great desire to know its history and learn from it. Due to this interest and demand of the readers, these research articles were combined and published in book form.
Anyway the book “Tareekh e Afghanistan” is in fact a specialized review of a very important chapter in the history of Islam. keeping in view the comprehension and ability of the readers, all the situations and events are presented in a very interesting and instructive manner.
