What is the nature of the Afghan people?

The questioner : As for the nature of the Afghan people, in order to understand this nature, I recall an incident from the biography of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the Battle of Banu al-Mustaliq. The noble Companion Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Abi ibn Salul, when he heard his father’s statement, went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was a noble Companion, yet we see the impact of social background on thinking, even though he was a noble Companion. The Afghan people are Muslim by their innate disposition, but the influence of the harsh, dry mountainous nature affects them and their thinking. If you tell them about Islam, they submit completely. But if their tribal Shaykh or their emir tells them something, they submit to him completely as well, even if it is against their will. They do not oppose this nature. In brief, I say that the majority of the Afghan people are backward. The proportion of pre-Islamic ignorance (jahiliyyah) in the Afghan people is more than ninety percent. The other ten percent, most of them, unfortunately, are from the upbringing of either the Westernized who went to Europe, or from the remnants of communism in Afghanistan in previous eras, or from the upbringing of religious schools, and their upbringing is very weak and crude. I begin and enter into an important point.
