When the Pashtoons Embraced a New Faith — The 9th & 10th Centuries of Afghanistan and Pakistan
A Podcast based on Olaf Caroe’s “The Pathans”

In the rugged mountains and high valleys of Afghanistan and what is now northwestern Pakistan, a profound transformation unfolded between the 9th and 10th centuries. This was the era when the ancestors of the Pashtoons — once Hindu in belief and steeped in ancient tribal traditions — first encountered the expanding world of Islam.

This documentary-style narrative brings to life the dramatic meeting of civilizations along the frontier:
• The fading Arab influence beyond the Helmand River
• The rise of Persian Islamic power under Yaqub al-Saffar
• The last stand of the Hindu Shahis in Gandhara and the Indus valleys
• The emergence of the Afghans — proud mountain tribes of Khost, Waziristan, Swat, Kurram, and Bajaur

This is the story of how Islam came to Pashtoon lands — not in a single moment, but through generations of service, contact, and conviction. A transformation where tribal honor (nang) found new meaning in faith (iman), hospitality became charity, and justice gained divine authority.

Through history, archaeology, and the words of Al-Biruni and Olaf Caroe, we explore how a warrior people stepped from one spiritual world into another — and shaped Islam’s eastern frontier forever.
