                        <description><![CDATA[Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, His Excellency Al-Haj Mula Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund chaired the regular meeting of the National Procurement Commission.
In accordance with the established agenda, 42 projects were presented to the meeting for consideration and approval.
Following deliberations, seventeen projects, with a total value exceeding one billion Afghanis, were approved, while amendments were made to fourteen projects. Additionally, responsibilities were assigned to designated committees with respect to six projects to conduct negotiations with the winning companies regarding pricing and to submit their reports to the leadership of the National Procurement Commission. Contracts for two projects were canceled on the grounds that the winning companies were unwilling to implement the projects at the agreed contract prices, and it was decided that these projects would be re-announced for open bidding and that the respective companies would be referred to the debarment committee. Two additional projects were likewise re-announced for open bidding due to the fact that the prices proposed by the companies during the bidding process were significantly higher than the estimated project costs. Furthermore, with regard to one project, the relevant authority was instructed to reassess the qualified companies and to submit a report to the leadership of the National Procurement Commission.
The approved and amended projects include the construction of a dormitory building for Panjshir University, the construction of a Faculty of Medicine building for Badakhshan University, the completion of the first and second phases of the road extending from Kunar to Nuristan, the construction of public hospitals in Giro District of Ghazni Province, Bandar District of Faryab Province, and Spin Ghar District of Nangarhar Province, as well as electricity supply and distribution projects in various provinces. The approved projects are financed by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[The National Procurement Commission convened its regular meeting today at the Marble Palace under the chairmanship of Al-Hajj Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs of the IEA.
In accordance with the agenda, 37 projects were presented to the meeting for consideration and approval. Following deliberations, 22 projects with a total value of AFN 10.2 billion were approved, and amendments were made to seven projects.
In addition, designated committees were assigned to conduct negotiations with the successful companies regarding project pricing for four projects and to submit their findings to the leadership of the National Procurement Commission. The contracts of two projects were terminated due to the unwillingness of the contracted companies to execute the projects at the agreed contractual prices, and it was decided that these projects would be re-advertised for open competitive bidding. One project was likewise re-advertised for open bidding on the grounds that the prices submitted by the bidding companies significantly exceeded the estimated cost of the project. Furthermore, with respect to one project, the relevant authority was instructed to implement it through an appointed joint committee.
Moreover, one company was referred to the Deprivation Committee due to contractual violations and complaints lodged by institutions.
The approved and amended projects include the second phase of the Qosh Tepa Canal; construction of the terminal and parking facilities at Ahmad Shah Baba International Airport in Kandahar Province; construction of a passenger and cargo vehicle terminal in the center of Farah Province; construction of a 20-kilometer road from Aybak to Rui Do Ab in Aybak, Samangan Province; construction of public hospitals in Yawan District of Badakhshan Province, Dand Patan District of Paktia Province, and Gulran District of Herat Province; and completion of the remaining works related to electricity supply and distribution projects in various provinces.
The approved projects are financed by the IEA.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs Participates and Delivers Speech on the Anniversary of the Withdrawal of Former Soviet Union Forces from Afghanistan]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[His Excellency Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi, Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, participated in and delivered a speech at a ceremony held in the hall of the National Radio and Television on the occasion of the 37th anniversary of the withdrawal of the former Soviet Union’s forces from Afghanistan. A number of cabinet members and officials of the Islamic Emirate were also in attendance.
The Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs stated that February 15, 1989, is inscribed in golden letters in the history of Afghanistan. For this reason, he extended his congratulations to all citizens of Afghanistan and expressed appreciation to the officials of the National Radio and Television for organizing the ceremony.
H.E. Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi stated that following the coup of February 15, 1989, thousands of religious scholars were buried alive in deserts, prisons, and mass graves, and that subsequent to the Soviet invasion, millions of Afghans were martyred, wounded, disabled, displaced, or forced into migration. Afghans, as in the past, did not accept aggression. By enduring numerous hardships and difficulties, they stood against the Soviet forces and expelled them from Afghanistan.
The Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs added that, regrettably, after the victory, the Mujahideen engaged in internal conflict over power, exposing the people of Afghanistan to regional, ethnic, and linguistic divisions, as well as other calamities. At that time, the late Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid, together with a number of other Mujahideen, rose for the protection of the Afghan people, establishing the rule of the Islamic Emirate and ensuring security.
H.E. Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi further stated that during the jihad against the aggression of Western occupying forces, under the leadership of the late Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid, the martyred Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour, and His Highness the Amir al-Mu’minin Sheikh of the Qur’an and Hadith Hibatullah Akhundzada, many scholars, Mujahideen, and leaders of the Islamic Emirate were martyred or imprisoned in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. However, an Islamic Sharia-based government was once again established in the country.
The Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs added that following the establishment of the Islamic Sharia-based government and the restoration of independence, a general amnesty decree was issued by His Highness the Amir al-Mu’minin; nationwide security was ensured; narcotics were eliminated; support was provided to the families and orphans of martyrs and those killed in conflict with the Mujahideen; beggars were gathered and assistance was provided to the genuinely needy; drug addicts were treated; development projects were implemented in the center and provinces; security and defense forces were organized and trained; refugees were properly managed; and other important activities and developments were carried out in the country.
Addressing the nation, H.E. Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi urged the people to value their freedom, express gratitude to Almighty Allah, preserve their unity, and cooperate with the officials of the Islamic Emirate. He also called upon officials to treat citizens with humility and in accordance with Islamic ethics, to avoid arrogance, pride, and all forms of prejudice, and to work, to the best of their ability, to resolve the people’s problems.]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[H.E. Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, attended today the graduation ceremony of the 17th cohort of the Hazrat Mu’adh bin Jabal (RA) National Military Academy, affiliated with the command of the Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (RA) National Defense University.
The Deputy Prime Minister congratulated the graduates on completing their professional training which, in addition to specialized instruction, included education on the importance of national defense, national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and political sovereignty. He urged them to put this spirit and training into practice in order to safeguard Islamic and noble Afghan values and to firmly defend the Islamic system and every inch of the country’s soil. He also emphasized the rectification of intentions, the adoption of piety, and serious attention to the well-being of the people.
The Deputy Prime Minister stated that the Islamic Emirate, within the framework of its economy-oriented policy, believes in regional and international cooperation and is committed to engaging with all countries within the bounds of its principles. He added that safeguarding long-term political and economic interests requires countries to respect one another’s values and boundaries.
He gave good news to investors that, in the coming days, the Islamic Emirate will grant full tax exemptions ranging from one to five years to both domestic and foreign investors, depending on the scale of their investment in new sectors.
He added that this measure will, on the one hand, accelerate the growth of new sectors and, on the other hand, have a significant impact on the country’s economic development and self-reliance. He further noted that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has been given firm instructions to expedite land distribution for small, medium, and large industries and to provide the necessary facilities.
The Deputy Prime Minister also stated that the Islamic Emirate and present-day Afghanistan have based their policies on institutions founded upon Islamic Sharia.
He added that Afghanistan neither seeks to harm anyone nor accepts harm from anyone. However, if anyone harbors malicious intentions against it, it will respond without hesitation. History bears witness that this country is not a soft morsel; rather, it is like the tree of Zaqqum. It has made the throats of long-standing empires bitter, and newly born forces will never be able to digest it.
In conclusion, he called on all countries to engage with Afghanistan within the framework of the Islamic Emirate’s values and principles, emphasizing that the energy and resources spent on destroying one another would be better devoted to mutual support and strengthening shared interests.]]></description>

At the outset of the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs spoke about the principal objective behind the establishment of the commission, as well as the significance of the process of collecting beggars from Kabul city over the past three years.
H.E. Mullah Sahib stated that, as a result of the efforts of the member institutions of the commission, a large number of beggars have been collected from Kabul city, and eligible beggars have been provided with monthly cash assistance and food aid by the Islamic Emirate.
Subsequently, officials from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs presented an oversight report to the meeting regarding the activities of the Commission for Collecting Beggars and Preventing Begging.
According to the report, since the commencement of the beggar-collection process in Kabul city, a total of 74,968 beggars have been collected. Following a comprehensive assessment, 37,947 individuals were identified as eligible, while 37,021 were identified as professional beggars. Eligible beggars were referred to the Afghan Red Crescent, through which monthly financial assistance is transferred to them via bank accounts. Likewise, some eligible beggars were referred to the Ministry of Public Health for treatment purposes, while others were referred to Kabul Municipality for employment opportunities.
In addition to outlining the activities carried out by the commission, the report also shared with participants the existing challenges in several areas.
After hearing the report, the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs issued serious instructions to all member ministries and institutions of the commission to properly implement and enforce the procedure approved by His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him), regarding the Commission for Collecting Beggars and Preventing Begging.
H.E. added that, at the initial stage, the number of beggars in Kabul city had significantly decreased; however, it has recently increased again to some extent, which requires serious follow-up and action.
It was also decided that, under the leadership of the Counter-Narcotics Deputy Ministry of the Ministry of Interior, the commission’s meetings will be held once a month, and a report on its activities will be submitted to the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs.]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[H.E. Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi, Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, attended and delivered a speech this morning at the inauguration ceremony of the 22.75-megawatt Naghlu solar power project, which has been completed by Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS).
At the beginning of the ceremony, the Deputy Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to all those involved in DABS and the project’s implementing companies, particularly Turkey’s Construction Company 77 and the domestic firm Zulristan, for their efforts in completing this major project.
H.E. Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi highlighted that electricity is one of humanity’s most essential needs and a fundamental infrastructure for development in the modern world. He noted that until a few years ago, Afghanistan produced only about 200 megawatts of electricity. However, following the establishment of the Islamic Emirate and through the dedicated efforts of the Ministry of Energy and Water and DABS leadership, investments have now been made to increase domestic electricity production to over 1,200 megawatts.
He added that serious efforts are underway to expand transmission capacity, and once the 500-kV lines from Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are connected, Kabul and other provinces will have continuous, 24-hour electricity supply.
The Deputy Prime Minister further stated that Afghanistan possesses abundant resources for electricity generation, including hydropower, solar, wind, coal and gas, waste or biomass, and geothermal energy, with the potential to produce thousands of megawatts.
In conclusion, H.E. Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi urged all citizens to use electricity responsibly and avoid wastage.
It is noteworthy that the work on the Naghlu solar power project began last year and was completed within fourteen months. The project has a production capacity of 22.75 megawatts, providing electricity to more than 23,000 families.]]></description>

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, attended the turban-tying and graduation ceremony of the first group of graduates of Al-Jami‘ah Al-Islamiyah Darul Uloom Kandahar in Kandahar Province.
The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the crucial role of Islamic madrasas as pillars of social reform, religious education, jihad, intellectual development, and the Islamic movement. He noted that scholars, alongside ordinary citizens, made significant sacrifices to end the twenty-year occupation of Afghanistan, and that as a result of these sacrifices, an Islamic system now governs the country.
He called on scholars to use religious wisdom to guide the public with gentleness, avoiding sarcasm or harsh speech. The Deputy Prime Minister further emphasized that the Islamic Emirate believes in inclusive political and economic participation for the country’s comprehensive development—a participation strengthened over the past four years and based on the advice of scholars, academics, and professional staff.
The Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs stated that Afghanistan’s current political authority is more stable and balanced than in the past. Parallel political currents and opposing forces that threatened national decisions within the system and government have been eliminated. In addition, administrative participation, transparency, economic infrastructure, public service delivery, and national satisfaction have all increased.
He called on the international community to actively engage with Afghanistan and make appropriate use of the Islamic Emirate’s potential and strong resolve within regional and global frameworks. He underscored that a politically and economically secure Afghanistan offers a great opportunity for all, and that no one should turn these opportunities into threats.
H.E. Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund congratulated the one thousand graduates and their families, urging them to act upon their knowledge and impart it to the people.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Message of Condolence from the Spokesman of the IEA on the Martyrdom of the Spokesman of the Hamas Movement, Abu Ubaida, and a Number of other Commanders]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[It is with profound sorrow that we have received the news of the martyrdom of Hudhayfah al-Kahlout (Abu Ubaida), the spokesman of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian jihadi movement Hamas, along with a number of other leaders.
Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.
Today, the al-Qassam Brigades officially announced the martyrdom of a number of their leaders, including Commander Mohammad Sinwar (Abu Ibrahim), Commander Hudhayfah al-Kahlout, spokesman of the military wing of the al-Qassam Brigades, Commander Mohammad Shabana (Abu Anas), Commander Hikmat al-Issa (Abu Omar), and Commander Raed Saad.
Martyrdom in the path of Almighty Allah is the ultimate and greatest aspiration of Muslims. We regard these martyrs, like other martyrs on the path of Islam, as victorious and as having attained their great objective.
On the occasion of their martyrdom, we extend our condolences to the Islamic Movement Hamas, their families, and all concerned. We ask Almighty Allah to grant all of them the greatest patience and reward, and we pray to Almighty Allah to grant these martyrs the highest ranks in Janna (Paradise).
We pray to Almighty Allah that, by virtue of the pure blood of these and other martyrs, He may liberate the sacred land of Palestine from the occupation and oppression of the Zionist occupiers, and render the oppressors destroyed and failed forever. Ameen, Ya Rabb al-Aalameen.
Zabihullah Mujahid
Spokesman of the Islamic Emirate

                        <description><![CDATA[H.E. Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, attended the turban-tying graduation ceremony of Jamiat-e Fath-ul-Uloom Kabul Madrasa.
The Deputy Prime Minister stated that madrasas are regarded as the sacred foundations of religious knowledge, jihad, Prophetic morals, spiritual and intellectual training, and Islamic movements within Islamic societies. He emphasized that respected religious scholars should use a softer and more measured language in preaching and from the pulpit, and alongside explaining religious obligations, they should also strengthen among the people the spirit of safeguarding the Sharia law-based government and national interests.
The Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs added that in Afghanistan, the Islamic narrative regarding the obligation of sacred jihad emerged from madrasas, spread to villages and cities, and was transformed into practical action and confrontation that defeated large armies of disbelief.
The Deputy Prime Minister described the role of madrasas as highly significant in the intellectual reform of society, the elimination of un-Islamic cultures, and the preservation of Islamic narratives. He stressed that madrasas must, under all circumstances, remain steadfast on their original and fundamental path.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs congratulated the graduating Hafiz students of Jamiat-e Fath-ul-Uloom Kabul Madrasa and their families. He urged the graduates to act upon their knowledge, teach it to others, and interact with people in accordance with Prophetic morals and ethics.]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[His Highness, the Amir al-Muminin, may Allah Almighty protect him, participated in and delivered speeches at a three-day reformative and training seminar held in Kandahar for the officials of the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled Affairs, the General Directorate of the Afghan Red Crescent Society, the General Authority for Disaster Management, the Prison Affairs Administration, officials of training centers affiliated with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, the Deputy Ministry for Counter-Narcotics of the Ministry of Interior, and officials of orphanages affiliated with the General Directorate of Jihadi Madrasas and Dar al-Aytam.At this seminar, which was also attended by the President of the Afghan Red Crescent Society, the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, the Director General of Jihadi Madrasas, the Military Deputy of the Supreme Court, the Judicial Deputy of the Southwest Zone of the Supreme Court, the Head of the Central Dar al-Ifta, the Head of the Directorate for the Supervision and Evaluation of Religious Publications, the Deputy Minister of Martyrs and Disabled Affairs, the Deputy Minister for Counter-Narcotics of the Ministry of Interior, along with a number of other officials and respected scholars, His Highness the Amir al-Muminin, (may Allah Almighty protect him), provided essential guidance and important advice to the participants.His Highness also praised the services of all attending officials and delivered detailed addresses to the seminar participants in the light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. He stated: “The best of people are those who are most beneficial to people.” He further said that the Islamic Emirate holds the position of representation and guardianship of Muslims; it will protect the religion and creed of Muslims, teach people religion and Sharia, ensure public security, and provide care for orphans, widows, the poor, and families without guardians.His Highness the Amir al-Muminin, (may Allah Almighty protect him), said that the laws and decrees of the Islamic Emirate are not the opinions of a few individuals; rather, they are the religion of Allah Almighty and the entirety of Islamic rulings, which call people toward the religion of Allah.He stated that the decrees of the Islamic Emirate are issued in two categories: one category concerns the veneration and worship of Allah Almighty, including decrees related to prayer, fasting, and other acts of worship; the second category concerns mercy and compassion toward the creation of Allah Almighty, including assistance and cooperation with people, refugees, the poor, the disabled, families without guardians, orphans, widows, and addicts. On this basis, the Islamic Emirate has established institutions to cooperate with and serve the people.His Highness the Amir al-Muminin, (may Allah Almighty protect him), stated that the Ministry of Martyrs and Disabled Affairs provides fixed monthly assistance every year to orphans, widows, and the disabled. He added that, through a special decree, the Islamic Emirate has ordered the said ministry to provide funds for the purchase of vehicles for those with two-limb disabilities and to grant additional privileges to the families of unmarried martyrs.He stated that Dar al-Aytam are responsible for the upbringing of orphans. In order to ensure proper care for orphans, the Red Crescent carries out duties of assisting the needy within the government, it serves poor people, those with mental illnesses, and assists those affected by natural disasters.His Highness the Amir al-Muminin, (may Allah Almighty protect him), said that within the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs there is a Directorate of Training Centers that gathers unaccompanied children in cities and provides services to them. Likewise, the Counter-Narcotics Directorate gathers addicts, serves them, and has provided opportunities for them to learn skills and trades.He stated that with regard to prisoners and detainees, the Islamic Emirate issued an initial decree that prisoners must not be mistreated or beaten, that no torture is permitted, and that no one may be punished without a court decision. This is because it is an Islamic system, and in an Islamic system the honor and dignity of every Muslim are safeguarded. The Islamic Emirate has ordered prison directors to appoint teachers, initiate education, enlighten prisoners, and provide them with knowledge, turning prisons into educational centers.At the conclusion of his remarks, His Highness the Amir al-Muminin, (may Allah Almighty protect him), said: When responsibility is entrusted to you, recognize your authority. Each of you is responsible; you must know the rights that your subjects have over you and the rights you have over them. Whoever is entrusted with a duty is obligated to learn it and to understand it fully. Do not create discord; obey one another; hold firmly to the religion of Allah Almighty; love one another and assist one another in your work. Give people glad tidings and do not cause despair; do not incite hatred among them. Show mercy and compassion; perform duties on time and with sincerity. Do not close your doors to the people; do not discriminate between the poor and the wealthy. Give precedence to Sharia in your work and decisions and do not grant yourselves discretion against it. Enjoin one another to truth and to patience, practice enjoining good and forbidding evil among yourselves, and become a means of guidance and leadership for the people so that future generations may follow your path. Do not be negligent and do not occupy yourselves with purposeless matters and frivolities.At the end, all the respected scholars and officials once again renewed their pledge of allegiance to His Highness the Amir al-Muminin, (may Allah Almighty protect him), and pledged that they are and will remain firm supporters of their Islamic system.The gathering then concluded with a supplication recited by His Highness the Amir al-Muminin, (may Allah Almighty protect him).]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[His Highness The Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) participated in and delivered a speech at the seminar organized for the scholars of the Fiqh Councils]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[His Highness The Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) participated in and delivered a speech at the two-day training seminar held in Kandahar for the heads, members, and scholars of the Fiqh Councils from all provinces of Afghanistan. The seminar was also attended by the General Head of the Fiqh Councils, the Grand Mufti of the Central Dar al-Ifta, the Head of Jihadi Madrasas, and a number of other officials and respected scholars.
His Highness The Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) offered necessary guidance and important advice to the seminar participants. He praised the services of all the scholars who had gathered, and delivered a detailed speech—based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah, regarding the significance and value of the Fiqh Councils. He stated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When Allah intends good for a person, He grants him deep understanding of the religion.” Among all branches of knowledge, the best is the knowledge of fiqh, for fiqh is the essence of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), through which the lawful and unlawful are distinguished.
Regarding the jurist-scholar (faqih), His Highness The Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) said: A faqih is one who possesses knowledge of subsidiary rulings; who knows the lawful and the unlawful, the obligatory and the necessary duties, the disliked matters and the mildly disliked, and the doctrinal rulings. The scholars of fiqh hold a distinguished rank before Allah Almighty and His Messenger (peace be upon him) compared to other people, and the people recognize them as the people of goodness. Allah Almighty has elevated their status and has chosen the jurists for the well-being of the Muslims because they know the lawful and unlawful, the good and the bad, benefit the people, and solve their problems.
He further stated regarding the Fiqh Councils: To travel for the purpose of imparting and benefiting from knowledge is jihad fi sabilillah; the scholars of fiqh travel for the sake of elevating the religion of Allah Almighty and hold gatherings. In the Fiqh Councils, truth is expressed, issues are clarified, research is conducted, and both teaching and learning take place, creating love and affection among scholars. Allah Almighty has entrusted the scholars with the heritage of the Prophets (peace be upon them), meaning they will acquire knowledge and guide people in manners, knowledge, and conduct. Today, the guidance and leadership of the people rests on the shoulders of the scholars. It is their responsibility to show people the path in the light of Sharia, for Allah Almighty has declared them responsible for guiding the people. Now the scholars have the opportunity to serve well; they can declare as lawful what is lawful and as unlawful what is unlawful. Therefore, acquire knowledge, convey it to the people, and spread it among them. The responsibility for the success of the religion today rests on the scholars, and it is their duty to make the people understand the religion.
At the end of his remarks, His Highness The Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) said: Do not oppose one another. Strive to end disputes among the people. Do not be greedy for worldly gain. Do not conceal the truth. Enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. You, the scholars of the Fiqh Councils, are the representatives of the common people, you must work for the reform of both the people and the officials. The people have hope in you. Practice the Sharia upon yourselves so that people may see you and follow your example. Scholars and officials must first implement the decrees issued by the Islamic Emirate upon themselves, and then explain them to the people. Convey the decrees and laws to the people, make them understand them, and explain their significance and value.
In conclusion, all the respected scholars once again renewed their allegiance to His Highness The Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) and pledged that they firmly support their Sharia-based governance and will continue to do so.
Afterwards, the gathering concluded with a supplication for the Sharia law-based government and the people, recited by His Highness The Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him).

                        <description><![CDATA[H.E. Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, officially inaugurated the Paranda Power Generation Plant in Panjshir Province today.
The Deputy Prime Minister stated that electricity is essential for industrial development, noting that Afghanistan’s rivers, sunny plains, and strong winds from Kunar to Helmand, Farah, Herat, and Nimroz offer vast potential for power generation.
He added that achieving self-sufficiency in electricity is a key priority of the Islamic Emirate, and fundamental efforts are already underway.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, once Afghanistan attains self-reliance in power generation, the country will export high-quality products instead of importing low-quality goods, paving the way for increased investment and economic growth.
In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister called on traders and investors to engage in Afghanistan’s industrial sector, particularly in power generation, assuring them that the Islamic Emirate will provide full support and all necessary facilities.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Urges Industrialists and Traders to Redirect Trade Through Alternative Routes Instead of Pakistan]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[The Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Al-Haj Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, participated in and addressed a meeting convened to ensure the sustainable management of trade relations with regional and neighboring countries, to safeguard Afghanistan’s strategic survival in the commercial sphere, to protect the dignity of the people, and to secure the country’s policy.
The meeting was attended by officials from various institutions of the Emirate, along with traders, investors, and industrialists. In his remarks, Al-Haj Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund stated that regional and international trade constitutes a common and mutual necessity among all nations, and that no legitimate commercial relations should become victims of unreasonable politics.
He added that, regrettably, in the present era it has become commonplace for trade relations, commercial routes, economic sanctions, and the unlawful and inhumane suffering of migrants to be exploited as political instruments to exert pressure upon targeted states. However, Afghanistan now possesses access to multiple routes and corridors for its exports and imports; thus, our reliance is no longer confined to a single country, and our commercial relations and ties with regional and neighboring states have been considerably strengthened in comparison to the past.
He affirmed that such diversification of trade routes effectively shields the country from economic and political pressures. Through the diversification of routes and the adoption of sound policies, by the grace of Allah, we have been extricated from a condition in which the closure of a single corridor would have caused a rise in domestic commodity prices.
The Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs stated that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is continuously endeavoring to establish new alternative routes for regional and international connectivity, as well as to enhance existing routes in terms of infrastructure and technical capacity. He added that the Islamic Emirate has consistently maintained, and will continue to maintain, constructive commercial relations with neighboring countries within the framework of an economy-oriented policy; however, if other countries exploit or misuse our policies, we are compelled to consider alternative routes.
Addressing industrialists and traders regarding the reduction of reliance on Pakistan for trade, Al-Haj Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund stated that they should redirect their trade toward other alternative routes instead of Pakistan. These routes, he noted, have not only caused harm to Afghan traders but have also created difficulties for markets and the general public.
He urged all traders emphatically to implement alternative options for exports and imports without delay, ensuring that trade activities are neither obstructed nor delayed. For goods that have thus far been procured in Pakistan, traders should seek alternative countries and markets for their purchase and importation. He further stated that if traders continue to export or import goods via Pakistan in the future, the Islamic Emirate will not address or consider their complaints should any issues arise.
He also strongly urged pharmaceutical importers to conduct their import operations through other countries and alternative routes as soon as possible, to settle all outstanding accounts within three months, and to withdraw their operations accordingly.
The Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs declared that Pakistan has repeatedly closed trade routes, politicized commercial and humanitarian affairs, and caused harm to traders and industrialists of both nations; therefore, these actions necessitated the Islamic Emirate’s current decisions. If Pakistan seeks the reopening of trade routes, such reopening will occur only upon the provision of firm and credible guarantees that the routes will not be closed again under any circumstances.
Finally, Al-Haj Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund instructed officials of the Ministry of Finance that, after three months, they must neither accept pharmaceutical products imported from Pakistan nor grant permission to any party to import them.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Clarification Regarding the Outcomes of the Istanbul Meeting]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan once again expresses its gratitude to the Republic of Türkiye and the State of Qatar, our brotherly nations for hosting and mediating the talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan in Istanbul.
Representatives of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, acting under the special directive of the leadership, participated in the Istanbul talks for two consecutive days (November 6 and 7) in good faith and with full authority. This participation was based on the hope that, following internal consultations, the Pakistani side would this time demonstrate seriousness, responsibility, and constructive intent in seeking a fundamental resolution to the issues at hand, and would engage in the talks with realistic and actionable proposals.
Unfortunately, during the discussions, the Pakistani side sought to transfer all responsibilities concerning its own security onto the Afghan government, while showing no willingness to assume any responsibility for either Afghanistan’s security or its own.
The irresponsible and non-cooperative attitude of the Pakistani delegation prevented the achievement of any tangible outcome, despite the goodwill of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the efforts of the mediators.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan reiterates its principled position that it will not permit anyone to use Afghan territory against another country, nor will it allow any country to engage in actions or provide support from its territory that undermine Afghanistan’s national sovereignty, independence, and security.
The Muslim people of Pakistan are brothers to the Afghans. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan maintains sincere intentions and aspirations for peace toward them and will continue to cooperate within the bounds of its responsibilities and capabilities.
The defense of the Afghan people and homeland is both an Islamic and national duty of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and it will resolutely defend against any aggression with the help of Allah and the support of its people, Inshallah ;
Zabiullah Mujahid Spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate ;

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the National Leader of Turkmenistan for visiting Afghanistan to review the practical progress of the TAPI project and to further enhance coordination in this regard. He emphasized that TAPI is a key initiative for advancing regional cooperation, economic integration, and shared prosperity, noting that practical work on the project within Afghanistan has currently reached a progress of 14 kilometers.
The Deputy Prime Minister further stated that the vision of the Islamic Emirate is not limited to the TAPI project; rather, it aims to expand the economic corridor between Afghanistan and Turkmenistan. This corridor includes the TAP-500 electricity transmission project, railway construction, roads, logistics centers, and other economic initiatives for which the Islamic Emirate is fully committed to ensuring implementation, security, and sustainability.
The Deputy Prime Minister also called on Turkmenistan and all international partners to take advantage of the existing investment opportunities in Afghanistan and to invest in the country.
Subsequently, Turkmenistan’s National Leader, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, delivered remarks, describing relations between Kabul and Ashgabat as strong and developing. He expressed gratitude to the Islamic Emirate for its full cooperation in implementing this significant regional project.
He stated that the TAPI project is among the Turkmen government’s top priorities and will play a constructive role in the region’s economic stability. He added that the current conditions are the most favorable for the implementation of the TAPI project, which remains the only regional project enjoying broad international support.
He further stated that Turkmenistan is committed to completing its portion of the TAPI project within the designated timeframe, through which Afghanistan is expected to generate approximately one billion U.S. dollars in annual revenue.
In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister urged neighboring countries to abandon confrontational and unprincipled approaches, and instead cultivate relations based on mutual respect, while refraining from actions that undermine the national sovereignty, dignity, or people of any nation.]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[The Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, His Excellency Mawlavi Abdul Salam Hanafi, attended and delivered a speech at a ceremony held in honor of Red Crescent Week.
The Deputy Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to the staff of the General Directorate of the Afghan Red Crescent for organizing the event. He said that dedicating a week to the Red Crescent aims to mobilize assistance for needy and affected compatriots.
In his remarks, His Excellency Mawlavi Abdul Salam Hanafi noted that over the past half-century, Afghans have suffered from imposed wars, climate change, and natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes. He added that in the past two years alone, around three million compatriots have been expelled from neighboring and other countries and have returned home. Addressing their challenges and ensuring their permanent settlement and employment opportunities, he said, requires cooperation and assistance from Afghans, national businessmen, philanthropists, and international organizations.
The Deputy Prime Minister called on national businessmen, industrialists, craftsmen, philanthropists, and the entire nation to support and cooperate with the Red Crescent as much as possible so that the institution can continue helping vulnerable groups, such as children with heart defects, those suffering from incurable diseases, returning refugees, and particularly the earthquake victims in Kunar Province, who are in urgent need of assistance.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[His Highness the Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) Participated and Delivered Speeches at the 3-day Seminar for Governors and District Governors]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, His Highness the Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him), participated and delivered speeches at the three-day reformative seminar held in Kandahar for the governors and district governors of all 34 provinces.
Following the recitation of the Holy Quran, His Highness the Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) addressed the participants of the seminar, offering essential guidance and significant advice:
“You are the trusted representatives of the Islamic Emirate. The entire country falls under your responsibility. Encourage the people, do not cause them resentment, fear Allah Almighty, and adopt piety.”
He added: “Every leader serves as an imam to his subordinates. People emulate the habits of their leaders. Whatever leaders do and practice, their subordinates follow. The actions of leaders are influential; all people are guided by them. In every province and district, the influence of its respective governor or district governor is reflected in the conduct and behavior of the people.”
His Highness the Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) stated:
“Correct your intentions in every matter. If your intention is sincere and for a good cause, Allah the Almighty will bring about good outcomes from your deeds. Many jihads have taken place in Afghanistan, but when intentions were not righteous, the objectives of jihad were not achieved, and Afghanistan suffered as a result.”
He continued: “Today, there is an opportunity to serve. Serve the religion of Allah Almighty. The implementation of Islam and Sharia is the true jihad. The people have united around you for the sake of religion and Sharia; therefore, guide them in religious and moral understanding, strive for their reform, and prevent immorality and corruption.”
His Highness the Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) said while addressing the respected scholars:
“The most honorable and virtuous individuals in the sight of Allah Almighty are the esteemed scholars. The honorable figures in your gatherings should be the scholars. Respect the Amir of the time and the respected scholars. The scholars are the protectors of the Sharia-based system, and by respecting them, the system is strengthened.”
He emphasized: “The scholars must cooperate with you in reviving religion. They should nurture the people intellectually and spiritually, and explain to them the harmful consequences of the enemies’ objectives. The officials and Mujahideen should consult with the scholars, listen to them, seek their fatwas, and act upon them.”
His Highness the Amir-ul-Mu’minin addressed the governors and district governors, saying:
“You, the governors and district governors, are the strength and representatives of the Islamic Emirate. All people are under your command. If you represent the Islamic Emirate and your Amir with integrity, the people will cooperate with the Sharia-based system and will fully support you in the implementation of Sharia.”
He added: “Convey the decrees and orders of the Islamic Emirate to the scholars, Mujahideen, and the people, so that they may avoid wrongdoing and ensure that the orders are implemented. Likewise, guard yourselves against negligence, promote mutual affection, obey your superior leaders, and maintain trust among one another, so that the enemy cannot find an opportunity to create division among you.”
The Leader of the Islamic Emirate also stated:
“Do not assign responsibilities to subordinates that they are incapable of fulfilling. Entrust tasks to those who are qualified. Be resolute in your determination but considerate toward your companions. Do not treat them harshly. Do not accept gifts or presents, for accepting gifts while in authority is regarded as bribery. Do not become accustomed to comfort.”
His Highness the Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) added:
“May Allah Almighty accept all our good deeds and services. May Allah Almighty bestow His grace and favor upon us and grant success in our mission. Your responsibilities are weighty; we remain hopeful in the grace and mercy of Allah Almighty.”
He said:
“Seek refuge from the devils among humans and jinn. Recite Qul A‘udhu bi-Rabbil-Falaq and Qul A‘udhu bi-Rabbin-Naas frequently. Say Astaghfirullah abundantly. Engage much in the remembrance of Allah. Turn to Allah Almighty. Turn to the scholars. Read books, for the remembrance of Allah and reading protect you from negligence. Keep the Mujahideen away from futile matters. Provide them opportunities for education and beneficial engagement. Protect yourselves and your companions from backbiting.”
His Highness the Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) concluded:
“When I assign a duty to someone, it is a trust; and when I withdraw it, that is also my right. Do not worry, for everything occurs by the will of Allah Almighty. Therefore, submit to the will of Allah Almighty and pray to Him for goodness and well-being.”]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Spin Zar Commercial Township Construction Begins in Takhar Province]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[H.E. Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, inaugurated the construction of the Spin Zar Commercial Township in Takhar Province today.
At the beginning of his remarks, the Deputy Prime Minister prayed for the martyrs to be granted paradise and for the swift recovery of those injured in last night’s earthquake in the eastern provinces. He extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, expressed solidarity with the victims in their time of grief, and assured that the relevant authorities of the Islamic Emirate are actively responding, having already reached the affected areas with the resources at their disposal.
Subsequently, at the inauguration ceremony of the Spin Zar Commercial Township construction works in Takhar, the Deputy PM emphasized that alongside the public sector, private sector investment at all levels is a crucial component of national economic growth, which the Islamic Emirate fully supports. He underscored that investment in both services and productive infrastructure is essential for economic progress, as it enhances industrial capacity, promotes exports, generates employment, and ultimately increases state revenue.
The Deputy PM underscored the significance of constructing this large commercial township in Takhar, stating that it will have a positive impact on the economic and social well-being of the people.
The Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, speaking on behalf of the Islamic Emirate, assured businessmen and investors that their issues will be resolved promptly and that comprehensive support will be provided across all sectors.
It is noteworthy that the Spin Zar Commercial Township in Takhar Province will feature markets for grains, fruits, onions and potatoes, construction materials, and pharmaceuticals, with a total investment of 2.45 billion Afghanis under a public–private partnership. The township is being developed on 60 jeribs of land, with the grain market inaugurated today and construction of the remaining four markets already underway. Once completed, the Spin Zar Commercial Township will accommodate over 2,000 shops and generate thousands of job opportunities for citizens.
In Takhar, the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs inaugurated private sector projects spanning car dealerships, car wash facilities, carpentry workshops, and construction offices, with a total investment of 180 million Afghanis.]]></description>

In this meeting, which was also attended by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mawlavi Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Chief of Staff of the Office of the Prime Minister, Dr. Mullah Abdul Wasi, and the Deputy Spokesman of the Islamic Emirate, Mullah Hamdullah Fitrat, His Excellency the Prime Minister welcomed the Chinese Foreign Minister and his delegation, stating: “China and Afghanistan are two strong and longstanding friends. We appreciate China’s constructive stance, support, and cooperation regarding Afghanistan on the international stage.”
The Prime Minister further emphasized that China has cooperated not only with Afghanistan but also with other countries around the world in their development, and it has played a constructive role. He requested that China continue its efforts and cooperation on the international stage in support of Afghanistan’s legitimate position.
He remarked: “Thanks be to Allah, the Islamic Emirate does not permit any group or side to interfere in the affairs of others from Afghan soil, and we also call upon other countries to pursue the path of friendship, sound relations, and positive engagement rather than interference.”
The Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate observed that Afghanistan has faced many challenges over the past forty-five years, which were further exacerbated by the intervention of major powers. However, since the Islamic Emirate assumed authority, many of these challenges, including conflict and insecurity, have been resolved. “Our policy is to advance through constructive relations and cooperation with neighboring and other states. As a result of sustainable and positive relations with all countries, including China, we will achieve substantial progress and cooperation.”
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, while referring to the historic ties between China and Afghanistan, described both states as longstanding friends. He added: “China respects Afghanistan’s independence and the choices of the Afghan people, and we are confident that they have chosen a sound path.”
He further noted: “Among the foreign ministers of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, I am the only one who has traveled to Afghanistan twice. This reflects our friendship and sincere commitment to Afghanistan. We share a common future and desire that Asian countries, particularly Afghanistan, take meaningful steps toward modernization and development.”
Mr. Wang Yi stated, “China is sincere and steadfast in its friendship with Afghanistan. We are prepared to cooperate with Afghanistan across various domains, particularly in the economic and security sectors, and we fully support the Afghan people in their progress. We also hope that Afghanistan will take into account some of our concerns, particularly concerning security.”
He added, “Effective security cooperation between the two countries will establish a foundation for Afghanistan’s development. We hope that you, as China’s friend, will attach special importance to this matter and further enhance your cooperation.”
His Excellency Al-Haj Mullah Muhammad Hassan Akhund conveyed to the Chinese Foreign Minister: “Please extend my best wishes to the Chinese leadership and assure them that we have demonstrated in practice that no insecurity or other problem will emanate from Afghan soil toward any party, nor will we permit anyone to create such difficulties.”]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Statement of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan on the Occasion of the 106th Anniversary of Independence Day]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
One hundred and six years ago today, with the assistance of Almighty Allah and through the blessing of a decisive struggle, the proud Muslim people of Afghanistan compelled the then-colonial British Empire to recognize Afghanistan’s complete independence and to restore control over the nation’s foreign policy, authority that had previously been taken by the British, back to the Afghans.
This success was the outcome of the struggle, sacrifices, and dedication of the Afghan mujahideen, and it remains a source of pride and respect for our people to this day.
Similarly, following that achievement, the Afghan people attained further successive victories on two other significant fronts: first against the Soviet Union, and later against the American occupation. Praise be to Allah, these struggles became an important chapter of courage and sacrifice in the history of Afghanistan.
Overcoming three world powers within the span of a century was, above all, due to the assistance and grace of Almighty Allah, and thereafter the result of the steadfast faith, determination, and honor of this oppressed people, who stood firmly to defend their religion, their belief, and their independence.
It is now incumbent upon our youth and future generations to follow in the footsteps of their forefathers, to always stand with firm resolve and strong determination against all forms of aggression and occupation, and to draw constructive lessons from past history.
Today, on the 28th of Asad / 19th August (Independence Day), we commemorate this occasion at a time when only four days earlier we also marked the Day of Victory and Freedom from American occupation. These consecutive celebrations oblige us to maintain constant gratitude and obedience to Almighty Allah. We must adhere firmly to the sacred Sharia and regard every success as the grace and assistance of Allah, the Exalted.
Wassalam
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

            <title><![CDATA[Deputy Prime Minister Delivers Speech at the Fourth Anniversary of the Islamic Emirate’s Victory Ceremony]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[H.E. Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi, Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs, delivered a speech today at a ceremony marking the fourth anniversary of the Islamic Emirate&#039;s victory on 24th Asad, attended by senior officials and cabinet members.
At the beginning of his speech, the Deputy Prime Minister congratulated His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minin, the Prime Minister, the families of martyrs, and the Afghan nation on this important occasion. He emphasized that the Afghan people have always made selfless sacrifices for the establishment of an Islamic system and the country’s freedom, with the defeats of the British and Soviet forces standing as powerful examples. However, he expressed regret that after the withdrawal of foreign occupiers, due to the incompetence of certain officials, chaos once again spread across the country. Infrastructure was destroyed, oppression intensified, security completely collapsed, and the people were left to live in fear.
The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that during a time of turmoil, dedicated youth under the leadership of the late Amir-ul-Mu’minin Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) rose to defend the nation and establish an Islamic system. Through perseverance and sacrifice, they brought Islamic governance to the majority of the country, enforcing Hudood and Qisas, which paved the way for peace and stability.
The Deputy Prime Minister further stated that Western forces invaded and occupied Afghanistan under various pretexts. During the occupation, infrastructure was destroyed, agriculture collapsed, and educational and religious institutions were bombed. Corruption reached alarming levels, and drug addiction affected nearly five million people, including women and children. Thousands of Afghan youth were martyred, imprisoned, disabled, or displaced. Yet, despite these challenges, the resistance persisted until the occupiers were ultimately defeated and forced to withdraw.
He emphasized that under the Islamic Emirate, security has been firmly reestablished nationwide, promoting unity and social cohesion among the population. He noted that the general amnesty has ended cycles of retaliation, enabling former opponents to live peacefully with their rights protected. Additionally, strict bans on narcotics cultivation, trafficking, and use have been enforced, while widows and orphans receive fair and nondiscriminatory support.
The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the return of over 3 million Afghan refugees from neighboring countries in recent years. He credited the Islamic Emirate officials for effectively managing the repatriation process and ensuring that all essential services were provided to the returnees.
He expressed confidence in protecting the rights of all citizens and emphasized that the Islamic Emirate seeks to strengthen unity and brotherhood among the people of Afghanistan. He called on all Afghans living abroad to return to their homeland, emphasizing that Afghanistan is the shared home of all its people and urging everyone to live together in unity, brotherhood, and mutual respect.
In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister stressed the Islamic Emirate’s commitment to friendly relations with all countries, especially neighbors. He affirmed that no one will be allowed to use Afghan soil to threaten others, and that Afghanistan will not interfere in other nations’ affairs nor tolerate interference in its own. The Emirate aims to focus on economic growth and build positive global relations.]]></description>

However, if God forbid these groups become corrupt, the people will inevitably be led astray. He emphasized that the youth of this society are like his own children, and he is fully committed to doing everything within his power to guide and reform them. Insha’Allah, he will fulfill his responsibilities in this regard.He urged the scholars to increase public awareness regarding the recent surge in traffic accidents that have resulted in numerous fatalities. He emphasized the importance of exercising care to safeguard both one’s own life and the lives of others from reckless behavior.His Highness also noted that during previous regimes, un-Islamic practices were allowed to flourish, leading many to become disconnected from their faith. Corruption and immorality were widespread, and deliberate efforts were made to distort public perception, encouraging opposition to religion. Extensive resources were invested in this cause, resulting in a generation so unfamiliar with Shari’ah that they now struggle to understand it.He stated that within an Islamic system, establishing prayer and guiding the people towards reform are fundamental. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to remind his governors that “the most important matter to me among your affairs is your prayer. If your prayer is sound, then your other affairs will also be sound.” Therefore, I formally authorize all Friday prayers currently conducted without prior approval, as long as they fulfill the essential requirements of Jumu’ah, including the consent of the Imam.His Highness, Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him), stated that all our laws, decisions, and rulings are fully in accordance with Shari’ah. Their implementation is carefully reviewed and verified at every stage by scholars and experts through thorough research and precision. In applying Shari’ah and educating the people with knowledge and science, let us work together to reform society and unite in this mission.Officials will also be reformed alongside you. Invite them to the truth, speak the truth to them, and guide them on the right path. It is well known to you that enjoining good and forbidding evil is a vital and sacred duty of Muslims and the Islamic system. A society without this principle faces corruption and the punishment of Allah Almighty.It is the duty of the esteemed scholars to call the people to the traditions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), encouraging them to align their appearance and conduct according to Shari’ah—such as maintaining the beard, wearing the turban, and other practices—and to protect themselves and their communities from actions that contradict Shari’ah.At the conclusion, all the esteemed scholars once again renewed their pledge of allegiance to His Highness, Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him), affirming their commitment to remain steadfast supporters of their leader and the Shariah-based system. The gathering then ended with a supplication offered by His Highness, Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him). Wasalam]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[The Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Al-Haj Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, officially inaugurated the construction of a 40-megawatt solar power project in Mohammad Agha district, Logar province.
Mullah Baradar described the initiation of the project as a significant opportunity for both Logar province and the broader economic development of Afghanistan. He stated that, upon completion, the project would contribute to mitigating the power deficit in Logar, particularly benefiting the local population and the industrial park. Furthermore, it is expected to stimulate industrial activity and generate employment for a substantial number of Afghans.
He underscored that electricity is an essential prerequisite for national development. Afghanistan, he noted, is placing particular emphasis on expanding all sources of energy production with the objective of reducing reliance on imported electricity.
In his remarks, he further stated that, since the establishment of the Islamic Emirate, notable advancements have occurred within the energy sector, alongside progress in other domains. Renewable energy initiatives have been launched across several provinces. Parallel to electricity generation, efforts are underway in the areas of distribution, regulation, and the delivery of power to industrial zones and residential areas.
Mullah Baradar Akhund reaffirmed the Islamic Emirate’s firm commitment to achieving energy self-sufficiency in Afghanistan, aiming not only to meet domestic electricity needs but also to establish the capacity for electricity exports. This ambition, he said, is being pursued through water resource management and a series of medium- and long-term strategies focused on the effective utilization of solar and wind energy.
He urged the contracted companies to ensure the highest standards of construction and to complete the project within the stipulated timeframe.
The project in Mohammad Agha district comprises two primary components: the construction of a 40-megawatt solar power facility with an estimated cost of $28 million, and the development of a 126 megavolt-ampere substation alongside transmission line extensions, costing $7.6 million.
The project is scheduled for completion within 18 months. Upon finalization, it will provide electricity to 40,000 households in the area and address the power shortage in the Mohammad Agha industrial park.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah almighty protect him) Holds Official Consultations with Ulama Council of Herat&quot;]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin, may Allah Almighty protect him, convened a meeting with the officials of the Ulama Council of Herat Province and the Ulama Council of Shindand District. Also in attendance were the Head of the Judiciary of the Southwestern Zone, the Director General of the Dar al-Ifta, the Head of the Religious Publications Review Administration, and several departmental directors from Kandahar Province.
The session commenced with the recitation of selected verses from the Holy Qur’an, following which His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin, may Allah protect him, addressed the participants.
In his address, he commended the efforts of all officials and affirmed that, subsequent to the Prophets (peace be upon them), the responsibility for the moral and social reformation of humanity is borne by the esteemed scholars (ulama), as they are the inheritors and representatives of the Prophets (peace be upon them). The scholars are entrusted with the safeguarding of the religion. Allah Almighty has designated the scholars as responsible over rulers and kings, while the general public is obligated to follow their guidance. However, the accountability of the scholars lies with Allah. The duty and stature of the scholarly class are of great gravity, and their reckoning is severe. In the tribulations of the end times, the revival of Islam and the establishment of Shariah is of paramount importance. The scholars, therefore, are obliged to realize and implement Islam and Shariah through governmental and political instruments.
Continuing his remarks, His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin stated: “This is not the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs; they were mujtahideen (qualified jurists). We are very weak in this final era and are in great need of each other’s support. It is essential that scholars support and cooperate with one another.”
In conclusion, His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin, may Allah protect him, declared: “Over the past twenty years, immense financial and military resources were mobilized to eradicate Islam. The essence of Shariah, Islamic consciousness, piety, religiosity, and moral integrity among the people were all fundamentally altered. Religious schools and scholars were subjected to raids, and efforts were made to annihilate them, while pathways for immorality were actively opened. As the homes, properties, and cities of the Afghan people were destroyed over the past two decades, so too were their spiritual values deeply harmed and devastated. Even now, efforts persist to weaken this Shariah-based system, to sow division and discord among the scholars, and to disseminate propaganda. Ongoing attempts are being made to undermine public trust in scholars and to defame the religious class.”
“It has now been four years since the Islamic Emirate assumed governance in Afghanistan, and during this period, there has been no internal conflict, factionalism, warfare, or major obstacles. Therefore, the scholars must seize this opportunity and exert themselves fully toward the establishment of Shariah. Through the implementation of the laws, directives, and decrees of the Islamic Emirate, the doors to tribulation are closed, and the process of enforcing Shariah law is facilitated. Neglecting the implementation of such orders and decrees leads to disunity and strife. Likewise, every effort must be made to resolve the grievances of the people and eliminate disputes and enmity among them.”
At the conclusion of the gathering, the scholars renewed their allegiance to His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin, may Allah protect him, and pledged their unwavering and continued support for the Shariah law-based system.
The meeting concluded with a supplication offered by His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin, may Allah protect him, for the welfare of the people and for the continued stability of Shariah-based system.
Wassalam

He added that businesspeople and industrialists who have transferred their factories and equipment from abroad to Afghanistan are being granted the following incentives: five-year tax exemptions; customs exemptions for machinery; the right to bring two vehicles per person into Afghanistan without tariffs; exemption from customs and tax duties on existing goods; allocation of land; issuance of two-year visas for returning engineers; provision of housing and land in industrial parks; access to banking services; and the right to invest in the mining and agriculture sectors.
Concluding his remarks, the Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs announced that, following negotiations conducted by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, the State of Qatar has agreed to issue visas for 700 Afghan workers, who will be officially deployed to Qatar.

            <title><![CDATA[Prime Minister Meets with the Secretary-General of the Muslim World League and Delegation]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[H.E. Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Al-Haj Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, met with the Secretary-General of the Muslim World League , Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, who arrived in Kabul on an official visit with his accompanying delegation.
The meeting, held at Gulkhana Palace, was also attended by Acting Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi and Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister, Dr. Mullah Abdul Wasi. The Prime Minister welcomed the delegation and expressed hope that the visit would help strengthen relations and ongoing cooperation.
The Secretary-General expressed his pleasure in visiting Afghanistan, noting that the country holds a special place in his heart and in that of the broader Muslim world. He emphasized the strong sense of Islamic brotherhood with the Afghan people and highlighted the importance of such gatherings for the unity of the Ummah.
He acknowledged Afghanistan’s rich and dignified history and offered prayers for its continued blessings and prosperity. He highlighted the necessity of Afghanistan’s active participation in international affairs and noted the ongoing challenges—especially the negative impact of extremist factions (Khawarij) on the image of Islam. He pledged the Muslim World League’s continued support to the Islamic Emirate in countering these threats.
Sheikh Al-Issa highlighted Afghanistan’s rich scholarly heritage, expressing his satisfaction with the presence of many distinguished scholars in the country and their active involvement in major international conferences.
He remarked to the Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan that his Foreign Minister is highly capable, and after meeting him in Makkah, his respect and goodwill toward Afghanistan were further strengthened. He also praised the minister’s valuable efforts in promoting Islamic solidarity.
Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan highlighted the longstanding historical ties and cooperation between Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. He noted that Saudi Arabia has been a key ally, particularly during the jihad against the former Soviet Union, offering substantial support and partnership to the Afghan people and Mujahideen, for which we are profoundly grateful.
The Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan stated that the responsibility of scholars in guiding the Islamic Ummah out of difficulties is even greater than that of governments, as they are the heirs of the Prophets. He urged scholars to use their spiritual and moral influence to pressure the leaders of their countries to take action in resolving the problems faced by Muslims.
He highlighted the brutal oppression, injustice, and violence perpetrated by the Zionist regime against Muslims in Palestine, leading to many martyrs. Despite possessing the necessary resources and capabilities, the broader Islamic world has remained largely silent in response to this ongoing tragedy and suffering. May Allah Almighty instill and empower a spirit of unity and assistance among Muslims globally to stand with the oppressed people of Palestine.
H.E. Al Haji Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, commenting on the visit of the Secretary-General of the Muslim World League, expressed his sincere hope that Allah Almighty will bless this journey with success in promoting Muslim unity, addressing shared challenges, and strengthening ongoing exchanges, relationships, and cooperation between both parties.
The Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate conveyed his optimism for the ongoing strengthening of ties and collaboration between Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. Additionally, he urged the Secretary-General of the organization to leverage his influence with the appropriate authorities to secure an increased quota for Afghan pilgrims undertaking the Hajj.
The Secretary-General of the Muslim World League expressed his gratitude to the Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan for his remarks, noting that while he strongly emphasized the effective and active role of scholars, unfortunately, many declarations from the Islamic world lack practical implementation.
He emphasized that the Afghan people represent a vital extension of the Islamic world and consider it an integral part of the broader Muslim community. The situation of Muslims in Gaza is deeply distressing and represents a clear case of genocide. He emphasized that they have consistently and openly condemned the ongoing oppression and atrocities occurring there.
The Secretary-General of the Muslim World League emphasized their full support for the Islamic Emirate, praying that Allah safeguards the Emirate, its officials, and the Afghan nation, and grants them greater success and blessings. He assured that the proposal to increase the quota for Afghan pilgrims would be raised with the relevant authorities, hoping it receives due attention.
The Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate requested Sheikh Dr. Mohammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa to convey his greetings and best wishes to the officials and scholars of Saudi Arabia. He also expressed hope for the continuation of such visits, relations, and cooperation.
At the end of the meeting, Sheikh Dr. Mohammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League, gifted the Kiswah of the Kaaba to Al-Haj Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Islamic Emirate Statement on the Starvation and Oppression of Women and Children in Gaza]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
It is with profound concern that we witness the ongoing suffering of Muslims in Gaza, Palestine, who remain under the relentless assaults and violence carried out by Israeli Zionist forces.
In recent days, hundreds of thousands of civilians have been subjected to acute food and water shortages, widespread illness, and continuous bombardment, resulting in immense human suffering.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan once again firmly denounces the ongoing crimes of the Israeli Zionists, including the deliberate starvation and siege of civilians, the weaponization of humanitarian aid, and the repeated targeting and killing of women and children.
Otherwise, we will have no justification before Almighty Allah, and all will be held accountable and face the severity of His divine punishment.
We earnestly pray to Allah Almighty to open a path of relief and rescue for the Muslims in Gaza, and to bring down His just punishment upon the Zionist aggressors and their backers — a punishment so clear and overwhelming that it serves as a lesson to all of humanity.
Ameen, O Lord of the Worlds.
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

                        <description><![CDATA[In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan unequivocally condemns the attacks carried out by the Israeli regime on the territory of Syria, particularly in Damascus and other locations.
Such acts of aggression constitute not only a violation of the sovereignty of an independent state, but also represent a systematic crime aimed at exacerbating regional instability and perpetuating disorder.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan calls upon influential states and regional organizations to fulfill their responsibilities in response to these transgressions, to take immediate action to halt the Israeli regime’s acts of aggression, and to uphold the independence and national sovereignty of the Syrian people and their legitimate government.
Wasalam,
Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan

                        <description><![CDATA[Dr. Mullah Abdul Wasi, Chief of Staff of the Office of the Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, participated and delivered a speech this morning at the opening ceremony of the program outlining the one-year achievements of Emirate institutions.
The event, hosted at the Government Information and Media Center with the participation of senior officials, was inaugurated by Dr. Mullah Abdul Wasi, Chief of Staff of the Office of the Prime Minister. He emphasized that the initiative is designed to ensure transparency by enabling approximately 44 Emirate institutions to present their annual performance reports and engage directly with the media.
Dr. Mullah Abdul Wasi underscored the crucial role of the media in connecting the government with the public, emphasizing continuous efforts to enhance the availability of reliable information. He urged officials to engage sincerely in the process and called on the media to reflect the truth so the world can see the real image of Afghanistan.
He noted that upon taking power four years ago, the Islamic Emirate inherited a country burdened by deep economic, security, social, and moral challenges. Despite these obstacles, he highlighted that meaningful reforms and progress have been made through strong leadership, divine guidance, and the dedicated efforts of officials.
He emphasized that the historic general amnesty decree issued by His Highness Amir al-Mu&#039;minin (may Allah protect him) was a landmark decision that promoted national unity and strengthened bonds of brotherhood. He further noted that significant institutional reforms were carried out, overlapping bodies were dissolved, transparency was enhanced, and the Islamic Emirate successfully funded salaries and development initiatives through internal resources.
He stated that the Islamic Emirate maintains diplomatic, economic, and trade relations with over forty countries, with its delegations regularly attending major international conferences and forums. A key milestone from these engagements is the recent recognition of the Islamic Emirate by the Russian Federation, and it is anticipated that other nations will soon extend similar recognition.
At the end of his speech, Dr. Mullah Abdul Wasi spoke about the forced deportation of Afghan refugees from Pakistan and Iran. He highlighted that the High Commission for Refugee Affairs, led by Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi, Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs, has carried out on-site evaluations to oversee the return process. He added that directives were issued to the relevant committees and officials to ensure proper arrangements for reception, registration, transportation, temporary housing, food, clean water, and healthcare services.
The National Examination Authority is scheduled to present its one-year achievements and performance to the people of Afghanistan in the presence of the media today, while other Emirate departments will do the same in the coming days.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Office of the Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan  Statement Regarding the Deportation of Afghan Refugees from the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Latest Developments]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[I extend my sincere gratitude to the government and people of the Islamic Republic of Iran for their hospitality in hosting Afghan refugees over the course of the past four decades.
In light of the recent decision by the Government of Iran to deport Afghan nationals who do not possess valid legal residency documentation, we regard this as an exercise of the sovereign authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In accordance with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s responsibilities concerning Afghan refugees, we have consistently urged the Iranian authorities to ensure that the deportation process is implemented with gradualism, dignity, and in conformity with the principles of good neighborly relations. This approach serves to both safeguard the rights of the refugees during deportation and enable relevant Afghan institutions to manage their resettlement in an organized and effective manner.
I urge the Iranian authorities to abstain from any actions that may infringe upon the rights or dignity of Afghan refugees during the deportation process. Refugees must be permitted to repatriate their movable property, and be given appropriate opportunity to settle matters concerning their immovable assets and financial accounts.
We further request that the Iranian authorities provide adequate facilities at refugee transit centers during the deportation process, in order to prevent the recurrence of hardships experienced by deportees in recent weeks especially under extreme heat conditions.
I express my sincere appreciation to the officials of the Islamic Emirate and to our esteemed nation for the services rendered to our returning compatriots. I pray to Allah Almighty to grant them continued success in their duties and immense reward.
In conclusion, I once again stress that the Iranian authorities should approach the deportation process with patience and gradualism, so as to prevent the emergence of resentment or hostility between the two brotherly nations.
Wasalam
Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan ;

Addressing the industrialists, he stated: “You represent a segment of society upon whom the aspirations of our people rest. Owing to your efforts, the nation&#039;s industrial capacity has advanced, and the Islamic Emirate takes pride in your contributions. Proceed, therefore, in the industrial field with courage and sincerity.”Subsequently, Al-Haj Sherbaz Kaminzada, President of the Afghanistan Chamber of Industries and Mines, expressed gratitude to the Islamic Emirate for its support of the industrial community and its attention to the development of the industrial sector. He underscored the necessity of enhanced coordination with industrialists and advocated for the formulation of incentive-based policies through consultation and collaboration with the sector, aimed at facilitating industrial growth.In addition, Haji Syed Sarwar Amani Agha, President of the Kandahar Chamber of Industries and Mines; Haji Abdul Nasir Amin, President of the Herat Chamber of Industries and Mines; Haji Tor Malang Shaghiwal, President of the Nangarhar Chamber of Industries and Mines; and Haji Mirwais Wazirzai Katwazi commended the Islamic Emirate’s initiatives in promoting economic growth and preserving the stability of the national currency.These representatives presented proposals and requests pertaining to the enhancement of electricity supply to industrial parks, the simplification of land allocation processes, the development of infrastructure for industrial parks, increased support for domestic products, and the institutionalization of regular consultations with industrialists.Dr. Mullah Abdul Wasi, Chief of Staff of the Office of the Prime Minister, stated during his address that with national security now firmly established, the conditions are conducive to investment, industrial expansion, and broader economic development. He noted that significant strides have been made in these domains over the past four years.He emphasized the Islamic Emirate’s unwavering support for traders, investors, and industrialists, noting that His Highness the Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) has designated land for industrial parks across various provinces. This initiative, he explained, will contribute to industrial advancement and generate employment opportunities for the population.Addressing the industrialists directly, Dr. Mullah Abdul Wasi stated: “We will ensure transparency in our actions and expectations. We must cultivate mutual trust and cooperation. While pursuing fair competition and safeguarding our interests, we must also consider the welfare of others. With sincerity and goodwill, we will strive for the advancement of the nation, the system, and Afghanistan. We shall endeavor to reactivate idle factories under the Emirate’s ownership so that the country achieves self-sufficiency and its people attain stability.”He further noted that among the returnees are individuals with valuable skills who should be integrated into various sectors through employment opportunities. He concluded by assuring industrialists that their concerns and proposals will be communicated to the senior leadership and the relevant ministries and institutions for appropriate resolution.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Statement by the Spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate Regarding the Ruling of the So-Called International Criminal Court]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[Once again, an institution operating under the name of the “International Criminal Court” has issued a declaration calling for the arrest and prosecution of certain leaders of the Islamic Emirate.
Such announcements and baseless rhetoric can&#039;t affect the firm determination and legitimate stance of the Islamic Emirate in any way.
We do not recognize any entity under the title of the “International Criminal Court,” nor do we acknowledge any obligation toward it.
At a time when genocide is ongoing in Gaza, Palestine, by the Israeli Zionist regime and its foreign supporters—with hundreds of women and children being killed daily without reason right under the eyes of the so-called International Criminal Court—raising slogans about human rights, justice, and the court is a matter of shame and disgrace.
The leadership and officials of the Islamic Emirate have established unparalleled justice in Afghanistan based on the sacred laws of Islamic Sharia.
Labeling the laws of Islamic Sharia as oppressive or against humanity, and threatening those who implement them with arrest and prosecution, is a clear expression of enmity and hatred toward the pure religion of Islam and its legal system, and it is an insult to the beliefs of all Muslims.
Zabihullah Mujahid
Spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate

                        <description><![CDATA[The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan categorically rejects the allegations made by the United States of America, which accuse the General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) of Afghanistan of involvement in the disappearance of an Afghan citizen named Mahmood Shah Habibi.Relevant institutions of the Islamic Emirate have undertaken investigations across all concerned departments in response to a petition submitted by Mr. Habibi’s family. No evidence has been uncovered indicating that he has been detained by any entity affiliated with the Islamic Emirate.All institutions of the Islamic Emirate, including the General Directorate of Intelligence, remain committed to upholding the legitimate rights of detainees in accordance with the Sharia-based laws approved by His Highness, Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him). These institutions are also obligated to refer any detained individual to the judicial authorities within the legally prescribed timeframe.As a legitimate governing authority, the Islamic Emirate has no reason to detain or conceal any individual merely suspected of criminal activity. Historically as well, citizens of several countries, including the United States, who were apprehended for violations of Afghanistan’s enforced laws, maintained regular contact with their families, and judicial and legal proceedings related to their cases were conducted with transparency.

                        <description><![CDATA[The seminar, convened in Kandahar, brought together leading judicial and administrative authorities, including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, deputy justices, the Deputy of the Military Court, the Acting Minister for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, the Director General of Administrative Affairs, the President of the Academy of Sciences, and the Director General of Dar al-Ifta. Also in attendance were senior judges and heads of military, appellate, civil, district, and special courts.
His Highness Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) delivered a comprehensive address, offering clear guidance and thoughtful counsel to the participants. He acknowledged and appreciated the valuable work of judicial officials and elaborated in detail on the wisdom, principles, and noble status of justice, drawing from the teachings of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He underscored that the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) personally handled judicial matters, issued verdicts in accordance with Shari’ah, and ensured the implementation of divine justice.
His Highness Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) stated that the judiciary is a fundamental pillar of the Islamic system. Through the courts, the life, property, and dignity of the people are safeguarded. He explained that, as mentioned in various narrations, spending even an hour in the pursuit of justice can carry the spiritual reward of sixty to seventy years of worship. He remarked that justice is the driving force that eradicates disorder and corruption, safeguards equity, and forms the cornerstone of a stable Islamic system. Therefore, empowering the judiciary is essential to preserving and strengthening the broader framework of Islamic governance.
He further stated that without a functioning judiciary, oppressors would act without restraint, the voices of the oppressed would go unheard, and corruption, discord, and immorality would spread throughout society.
His Highness Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) stated that Allah has appointed judges on earth to guide and reform the moral and practical conduct of society. A judge who rules with justice is beloved to Allah, and in the Hereafter, such judges will be rewarded with Paradise. In an Islamic system, the judge serves as the representative of the Imam, appointed with a mandate and guiding principles from the Imam. His Highness emphasized that judges bear a great responsibility in the Islamic system—to strengthen public trust through fair rulings and to ensure the protection of people&#039;s rights.
He stated that it is a great blessing from Allah Almighty that the path has been opened for the implementation of the Islamic and Shari’ah system. In today’s time, upholding religion, Islam, and Shari’ah requires patience, perseverance, and steadfastness. The honorable scholars and judges, he added, have demonstrated the practical application of Islam and Shari’ah to the people and to the world.
He added that the judiciary plays a vital role in fulfilling the objectives of Jihad, as the courts revive religion and Shari’ah, promote Islamic beliefs, implement Shari’ah rulings, and uphold Islamic ethics. He emphasized that the entire system stands in full support of the judiciary in carrying out these responsibilities.
At the conclusion of his address, His Highness Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) offered important guidance on piety, humility, modesty, and justice among the people. He advised that in all judicial matters, the sole objective should be seeking the pleasure of Allah Almighty. He urged judges to become a means of guidance for the people through fair and just rulings, emphasizing that when a judge stands firmly on the principles of justice, Allah grants him divine support.
His Highness encouraged judges to document and publish their resolved cases and personal experiences so that future judges may benefit from their knowledge. He also advised engaging with senior scholars and experienced judges, learning from their wisdom, and focusing on the training and development of the new generation of scholars in the field of judiciary.
He emphasized the importance of mutual reminders and discussions among judges, paying special attention to prisoners, ensuring that no detainee remains in legal uncertainty, and upholding complete equality between the claimant and the defendant. He warned against favoritism in rulings and stressed the need for full cooperation with all relevant institutions.
The seminar then concluded with a closing supplication led by His Highness Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him).

                        <description><![CDATA[A quarterly report has been published by the United Nations that contains inaccurate information about Afghanistan and appears aimed at raising undue concern over the country’s current circumstances.We categorically reject this report and consider it to be founded on misinformation and driven by an agenda of propagandistic distortion.The security situation in Afghanistan is presently more stable than at any time in recent history, and the population is living in peace.Regrettably, institutions such as the United Nations and comparable organizations have persistently presented a misrepresented image of Afghanistan. There are ongoing efforts to portray the national situation in a negative light, to disregard the country&#039;s progress, and to amplify isolated incidents in order to instill unwarranted anxiety among the public.In the aforementioned report, even ordinary criminal acts have been categorized as security-related incidents, despite the fact that such crimes occur at significantly higher rates in numerous other countries compared to Afghanistan.We reassure our citizens that they should not be alarmed about the security and stability of their country based on the rhetoric of hostile foreign actors. Afghanistan is currently more secure than ever, and the population continues to live peacefully under a governance system rooted in Sharia law.During the recent Eid al-Adha holidays alone, more than two million Afghans traveled domestically, a clear indication of security, national stability, and the public’s prevailing sense of peace.

                        <description><![CDATA[Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, participated in a ceremony recognizing pharmaceutical manufacturing companies. The ceremony was held at the Ministry of Public Health.
In his address, Deputy Prime Minister Mullah Baradar Akhund stated that high-quality medicines are essential for ensuring a healthy society, whereas substandard drugs pose serious risks to public health. He emphasized that all stakeholders in this sector bear a fundamental responsibility to perform their duties with sincerity, commitment, and integrity. He further noted that if domestic pharmaceutical factories produce medicines in accordance with national and international standards, it would not only constitute a significant achievement but also reduce Afghanistan’s dependence on imported drugs and fulfill domestic demand internally.
The Deputy Prime Minister additionally noted that only three pharmaceutical factories are currently receiving Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificates for their quality and standard production. He described this as a major accomplishment for the responsible leaders of these factories and extended his congratulations to them.
He also highlighted that Afghanistan’s reliance on imported medicines negatively impacts the national economy. He pointed out that such medicines are expensive and contribute to a significant outflow of foreign currency. In response to this challenge, he urged domestic pharmaceutical companies to prioritize both the quality and quantity of medicines in line with national and international standards.
The Deputy Prime Minister assured both domestic and international investors that economic procedures within the institutions of the Islamic Emirate would be further simplified, streamlined, expedited, and shortened. He stated that, in this context, His Excellency the Amir al-Mu’minin has assigned a committee, led by the Directorate of Administrative Affairs, to draft a comprehensive procedural framework. He encouraged all investors to consider investing in the health sector alongside other industries.
In conclusion, Deputy Prime Minister Mullah Baradar Akhund called on all governmental institutions to adhere to the directive of His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin by utilizing domestically produced goods, prioritizing standard local medical products, and ensuring that this matter is seriously considered in all procurement processes.
It is noteworthy that today, Snow Pharma, Milli Shifa, and TGL pharmaceutical production companies were awarded internationally recognized GMP certificates for their standardized drug manufacturing. These certificates authorize them to export their products to foreign countries.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[His Highness the Amir al-Mu’minin (May Allah Almighty Protect Him) Attended and Delivered a Speech at a One-Day Seminar for the Heads of Jihadi Madrasas]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him), attended and addressed a one-day educational and reform-oriented seminar convened in Kandahar for the teachers, administrators, and supervisors of Jihadi Madrasas. The acting Minister of Higher Education, the Director General of Jihadi Madrasas, along with a number of directors, scholars, administrators, and supervisors, participated in the event.
The seminar commenced with the recitation of the Holy Qur’an. His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him), delivered necessary guidance and an address to the attendees of the seminar.
He acknowledged the contributions of all officials and offered key recommendations to the participants. His Highness emphasized that Allah Almighty has conferred upon scholars a distinguished rank, honor, and dignity among creation, appointing them as successors to the prophets in safeguarding the religion.
He stated that scholars are not only tasked with the performance of individual acts of worship, but, following the prophets (peace be upon them), are also charged by Allah Almighty with fulfilling collective responsibilities and participating in political affairs. Scholars are required to address the social and political challenges of the Ummah, engage in Jihad, enforce the Sharia, adjudicate among the people, and resolve their disputes.
His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him), observed that throughout history, scholars, under highly challenging conditions, have preserved and defended the religion through sermons, legal opinions (fatwas), Jihad, education, preaching, and counsel. They have trained Mujahideen, encouraged the public toward Jihad, and have borne significant sacrifices in this cause.
He praised the role of scholars in the implementation of the general amnesty decree.
He also elaborated on the significance and value of knowledge, asserting that societal reform is achieved through knowledge, and that the establishment of Sharia is contingent upon the revival of Islamic sciences. Without the revival of religious sciences, the religion cannot be properly established among the people.
At the conclusion of his address, His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him), advised the instructors of Jihadi Madrasas to intensify their efforts in educating and nurturing students, shaping their beliefs, thoughts, and intellects. He instructed them to give careful attention to both the external and internal development of students, educate them regarding the rights of parents, teachers, and others, foster collaboration with other institutions, and uphold mutual trust. He warned that the erosion of trust leads to disobedience, and disobedience results in division.
The seminar concluded with a supplication (dua) from His Highness, the Amir al-Mu’minin (may Allah Almighty protect him) for the nation and for governance based on Sharia law.]]></description>

                        <description><![CDATA[Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, met today with Mr. Khusnullin Marat Shakirzyanovich, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, who oversees construction and regional development.
During their meeting, the two sides discussed a range of political, economic, and commercial matters.
Mullah Baradar emphasized that the Islamic Emirate wants to see relations between Kabul and Moscow elevated to a formal level. He said that beyond political cooperation, both countries should be able to see meaningful progress in economic ties. He assured that Afghanistan is committed to being a responsible and constructive economic partner in the region.
He also expressed appreciation to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation for removing the Islamic Emirate from its list of banned organizations.
Mullah Baradar noted that the Islamic Emirate is pursuing an economy-centered foreign policy, aiming to transform Afghanistan into a key hub for regional trade, transit, and economic cooperation—something he said would benefit not just Afghanistan but the broader region.
He went on to say that efforts are underway to boost Afghanistan’s exports to neighboring and distant countries, and to attract foreign investment in multiple sectors. With this in mind, he invited Russia to invest in affordable projects like building cities and housing, public schools and hospitals, roads, bridges, dams, water systems, and electricity networks.
He highlighted Afghanistan’s strategic location along the North-South Corridor and expressed the country&#039;s desire to play a proactive role in enhancing regional economic connectivity. He stressed that cooperation with a major country like Russia is key to preventing others from using trade and transit routes as leverage.
Mullah Baradar also brought up the “Afghan-Trans” project, calling it vital for linking Central and South Asia. He urged Russia to help ensure its timely completion.
Following Mullah Baradar’s remarks, Mr. Khusnullin, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister, addressed the meeting. He said that in order to strengthen bilateral ties, the name of the Islamic Emirate had been removed from the banned list, and he hoped this meeting would lead to progress in other areas as well.

Mr. Khusnullin also commended the Islamic Emirate’s accomplishments in the transportation sector, saying there are currently no challenges in this area within Afghanistan.
He affirmed that Russia is open to giving Afghanistan an active role in the North-South Corridor.
He requested Mullah Baradar to appoint an official Afghan representative and reiterated the importance of completing the Afghan-Trans project.
The Russian Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the need to boost trade and banking cooperation between the two countries. He mentioned that a comprehensive report on these topics would be presented to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and President Vladimir Putin, so that technical teams could be sent to Kabul for further steps.
Both parties agreed to appoint official representatives to follow up on the discussions and expressed optimism that coordinated efforts would bring meaningful progress.
Mr. Khusnullin concluded by saying that the meeting was of great importance and voiced hope that it would pave the way for practical cooperation and effective coordination between the two nations.]]></description>

At the end of the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister extended an official invitation to President Minnikhanov to visit Afghanistan to further strengthen bilateral relations. He described the meeting as a promising beginning for enhanced cooperation between the two countries.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Statement of the Spokesman of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in Response to the Zionist Regime’s Attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan unequivocally condemns the recent attacks by the Israeli regime on the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the assassination of Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists—acts that constitute a blatant violation of core principles of international law, particularly the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states.
This act of aggression occurs at a time when the oppressed Palestinian population, especially in Gaza, continues to endure unrelenting and catastrophic assaults by Israel. The occupying regime persists in its violent actions with blatant disregard for humanitarian and international legal norms. Regrettably, such conduct, which exacerbates violence, has further deteriorated the regional situation and intensified concerns regarding its trajectory.
The Islamic Emirate urges all concerned parties to discharge their responsibilities with due seriousness in preserving regional stability and security, and to prevent the further spread of insecurity and disorder across the region.

            <title><![CDATA[The Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan performs the Eid al-Adha Prayer at the Presidential Palace]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[On the morning of Eid al-Adha, the Prime Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, His Excellency Al-Haj Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, performed the Eid prayer at the Presidential Palace, in the presence of senior officials of the Islamic Emirate.
Participating alongside the Prime Minister were the following high-ranking dignitaries: the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund; the Deputy Prime Minister for Administrative Affairs, His Excellency Mawlavi Abdul Salam Hanafi; the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Head of the Judiciary, Sheikh al-Hadith Mawlavi Abdul Hakim Haqqani; the Chief of Staff of the Prime Minister&#039;s Office, Dr. Mullah Abdul Wasi’; as well as several cabinet members, and a range of civil and military officials of the Islamic Emirate, along with members from various communities. Upon conclusion of the prayer, the participants exchanged Eid greetings.
Prior to the prayer, the Chief Justice and Head of the Judiciary addressed the congregation. He extended his congratulations to scholars, elders, cabinet members, officials of the Islamic Emirate, and to Muslims across the globe on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. He emphasized that responsibility and duty are a trust (amanah) that must be discharged with integrity. He called upon all to observe both the rights of Allah (huquq Allah) and the rights of fellow human beings (huquq al-‘ibad).
The Chief Justice underscored that the implementation of divine law constitutes a core obligation of Islamic governance. He asserted that the Islamic Emirate has thus far administered these laws with effectiveness.
Subsequently, the Prime Minister, His Excellency Al-Haj Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund, delivered a formal address. He conveyed Eid felicitations to the global Muslim community and expressed hope that the blessed days would be spent in harmony and goodwill. He also stressed the moral imperative of extending kindness and support to the impoverished, to relatives, and to neighbors during this festive period.
He further remarked that peace and the establishment of a system based on Islamic Sharia law are divine blessings that must be cherished. He urged the scholarly class to act as guardians of the Islamic order and to uphold the values of a Sharia-based governance.
Alluding to the tendency of media outlets to downplay or misrepresent the accomplishments of the Islamic system, he stated: “We must not allow the light of the Islamic system to be extinguished.”
He also referenced the efficient and timely management of returning refugees by relevant institutions within the Islamic Emirate, including the provision of accommodation. In addition, he expressed his gratitude to the preachers, imams, scholars, mujahideen, and other citizens who have voiced their support for the oppressed and defenseless people of Palestine.
His Excellency Al-Haj Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund declared: “Although challenges exist, we must remain vigilant. Scholars and all Afghans must not grant the enemy any opportunity to weaken the foundations of Sharia-based governance.”
He appealed to Afghan citizens residing abroad to return to their homeland, assuring them of their safety. He reiterated the declaration of a general amnesty by His Highness the Amir al-Mu’minin, may Allah protect him, encouraging repatriated individuals to live peacefully in their ancestral lands.
In the concluding portion of his speech, the Prime Minister addressed the youth and vehicle operators, advising them to exercise caution while driving during Eid and at all other times, and to refrain from behaviors that may endanger themselves or others.
Finally, Sheikh al-Qur’an wal-Hadith Mawlavi Mohammad Faqir delivered a supplication. He extended Eid greetings to the devout and mujahid people of Afghanistan and prayed for the continued strength of Sharia-based governance, and for unity and solidarity among Muslims worldwide.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Congratulatory Message from His Highness Amir al-Mu&#039;minin, Sheikh al-Quran wal-Hadith, Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada (may Allah protect him), on the Auspicious Occasion of Eid al-Adha]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
ﷲ أکبر ﷲ أکبر، لا إله إلا ﷲ وﷲ أکبر، ﷲ أکبر ولله الحمد
الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونعوذ بﷲ من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات أعمالنا من يهده ﷲ فلا مضل له ومن يضلل فلا هادي له وأشهد أن لا إله إلا ﷲ وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله.
To proceed: Verily, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, has said:
ــــ ; قُلۡ ; اِنَّ صَلَاتِیۡ ; وَ نُسُکِیۡ وَ مَحۡیَایَ وَ مَمَاتِیۡ ; ; لِلّٰہِ ; ; رَبِّ ; الۡعٰلَمِیۡنَ ﴿۱۶۲﴾ۙ [سورة الأنعام]
Translation: And say (O Mohammad) to them: Indeed, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life (in obedience), and my death (upon righteous deeds) are solely for Allah — the Lord (Sustainer) of all the worlds. [Tafsir Kabuli]
ــ وَ اَتِمُّوا الۡحَجَّ وَ الۡعُمۡرَۃَ  ;لِلّٰہِ ؕ... وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰہَ وَ اعۡلَمُوۡۤا ; اَنَّ اللّٰہَ ; شَدِیۡدُ ; الۡعِقَابِ﴿۱۹۶﴾ [سُورَةُ البَقَرَة]
Translation: And perform Hajj and ‘Umrah completely and solely for Allah, Glorious is His Majesty. And fear Allah, Glorious is His Majesty, and know that indeed Allah is severe in punishment. [Tafsir Kabuli]
ــ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضی ﷲ تعالی عنه  ;قَالَ : ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى ﷲ عليه وسلم- بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ أَقْرَنَيْنِ ذَبَحَهُمَا بِيَدِهِ وسَمّى وَكَبّرُ قال: رَأَيْتُهُ وَاضِعًا قَدَمَهُ عَلَى صِفَاحِهِمَا وَيَقُولُ بسم ﷲ وﷲ اکبر، متفق عليه.
Translation: It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed two rams with long horns (or its horns were not broken) and had two colors (black and white). The Prophet (peace be upon him) slaughtered them with his own blessed hand while saying Bismillah (In the name of Allah) and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest). Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) place his blessed foot on the side of the animal and said Bismillah, Allahu Akbar. [Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim]
To summarize, the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) sacrificed two rams with horns. He performed the slaughter himself, saying Bismillah and Takbir, and placed his foot gently on their sides during the act.
ــ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضی ﷲ تعالی عنها أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى ﷲ عليه وسلم- قَالَ « مَا عَمِلَ آدَمِىٌّ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ إِهْرَاقِ الدَّمِ إِنَّهَا لَتَأْتِى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِقُرُونِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا وَأَظْلاَفِهَا وَإِنَّ الدَّمَ لَيَقَعُ مِنَ اللَّهِ بِمَكَانٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقَعَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ فَطِيبُوا بِهَا نَفْسًا» [مشکوة المصابیح] ;  ; ; ;
Translation: Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There is no deed on the Day of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) more beloved to Allah than the shedding of the sacrificial blood. On the Day of Resurrection, the sacrificed animal will come with its horns, hair, and hooves, and its blood will have been accepted by Allah even before it falls to the earth (that is, at the moment of slaughter). Therefore, rejoice with this sacrifice and make your soul happy.
To all my faithful Afghan Mujahideen and Muslim brothers!
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah SWT be upon you!
First of all, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of you on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. May Allah accept your worship, sacrifices, pilgrimages, charity, and all your good deeds.
As we commemorate these holy days of devotion and sacrifice, our hearts are filled with gratitude to Allah for His blessings notably the implementation of the Shariah system, along with the peace and security that prevail. These achievements have been made possible by the Islamic Emirate, the selfless sacrifices of our martyrs and disabled brothers, and the continuous prayers of the Muslim Ummah. It is therefore our duty to sincerely thank Allah for these blessings.
Dear brothers, this moment calls for a shared responsibility to seize this opportunity fully. We must renew our efforts to advance and ensure the success of the Shariah system, strengthen our unity and cooperation, and hold every leader and individual accountable in fulfilling their responsibilities. Carelessness must be avoided; each person must carry out their duties on time, work harmoniously with others, respect each other’s roles, and strive earnestly to apply the Shariah in their own lives first, and then encourage its implementation by others.
The respected scholars hold the greatest responsibility in our community. Allah Almighty has said about them:
وَ اِذۡ اَخَذَ اللّٰہُ مِیۡثَاقَ الَّذِیۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡکِتٰبَ لَتُبَیِّنُنَّہٗ لِلنَّاسِ وَ لَا تَکۡتُمُوۡنَہٗ ۫ فَنَبَذُوۡہُ ; وَرَآءَ ظُہُوۡرِہِمۡ وَ اشۡتَرَوۡا بِہٖ ثَمَنًا قَلِیۡلًا ؕ فَبِئۡسَ مَا یَشۡتَرُوۡنَ ﴿۱۸۷﴾ [سورة ال عمران]
Translation: And (remember) when Allah took a firm covenant from those to whom the Scripture was given: “You shall surely make it known to the people and not conceal it.” But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. What an evil trade they made.
Tafsir: This means that a solemn pledge was taken from certain scholars among the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab) to faithfully communicate the laws and glad tidings in Allah’s Book to others, without concealing or distorting any part. They were commanded not to change the meanings or manipulate the words. However, they neglected these duties, and for the sake of a small worldly benefit, they broke their promises and altered the divine rulings. They introduced both literal and interpretive corruptions into Allah’s revelations.
They even hid the most important truths, including the glad tidings about the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). Just as they are miserly in spending their wealth, they are also reluctant to share knowledge. This stinginess stems from their love of wealth, status, and worldly pleasures.
A warning is also given here to the scholars of Islam: do not become consumed by worldly desires. Rather, at all times, in every place, and before all people, uphold the duty of enjoining good and forbidding evil. Never conceal the rulings of Shariah from others. The Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) said: Whoever hides knowledge from those who deserve to know it will face a punishment with a fire hotter than theirs. [Tafsir Kabuli]
Likewise, influential leaders and community elders bear a crucial responsibility to steadfastly implement Allah’s Shariah rulings within society. They must ensure that individuals receive their rightful rights and that order is maintained in every aspect. Should these leaders stray from the path of religion, the entire Shariah system and social stability would be at risk of collapse.
Once, a woman named Zainab from the Ahmas tribe posed a question to Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him):
‎قَالَتْ مَا بَقَاؤُنَا عَلٰى هَذَا الأَمْرِ الصَّالِحِ الَّذِي جَاءَ اللّٰهُ بِهِ بَعْدَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ بَقَاؤُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَا اسْتَقَامَتْ بِكُمْ أَئِمَّتُكُمْ قَالَتْ وَمَا الأَئِمَّةُ قَالَ أَمَا كَانَ لِقَوْمِكِ رُؤُوسٌ وَأَشْرَافٌ يَأْمُرُونَهُمْ فَيُطِيعُونَهُمْ قَالَتْ بَلَى قَالَ فَهُمْ أُولٰئِكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ. رواه البخاري 
Translation: She asked, “How long will we remain steadfast in this blessed state of Islam, which Allah granted us after the era of ignorance?” He replied, “You will remain steadfast in this good state as long as your leaders are sincere in their commitment to Islam.”
She then asked, who are these leaders? He responded, does your tribe not have chiefs and nobles whom the people obey? She answered, yes, they do. He said, these are the leaders of the people. If these leaders remain true to Islam and its Shariah, then the people will be righteous. However, if they abandon Shariah, the people will follow their example, and the responsibility for all the resulting misguidance will lie with these leaders.
Therefore, it is imperative that our leaders and influential figures take a firm and responsible stance in support of our Shariah-based system, our people, and our homeland.Through their analyses, research, speeches, writings, and recommendations, they should help shape a positive mindset among the public. They must actively work to preserve unity and harmony in society and strive seriously to prevent discord and corruption.Because people listen to them, their views play a significant role in guiding public opinion—and this, indeed, is one of the greatest services to the religion.
All judges and officials of the Islamic Emirate’s judiciary are reminded to uphold their noble responsibilities with utmost seriousness. They must strive with increased diligence to safeguard the legitimate rights of the people and to resolve disputes fairly and efficiently. Justice must be administered fairly, ensuring that both the strong and the weak are treated equally. All cases should be judged based on the offense itself, not on who committed it, and all rulings must follow the boundaries set by Allah (SWT).
It is imperative that the rights of the oppressed are protected, oppressors are held accountable, and public grievances are addressed swiftly and without unnecessary delays or obstacles.
The ultimate goal behind the sacrifices and struggles of our Mujahideen was the genuine establishment of an Islamic system and the implementation of Shariah law throughout society. The realization of this lofty aim is contingent upon the proper functioning and committed service of the judiciary.
The Ministries of Hajj and Religious Affairs, Propagation of Virtue, Prevention of Vice and Hearing Complaints, and Higher Education must likewise exert substantial effort. In cooperation with scholars and influential community figures, they should actively encourage the populace toward righteousness and adherence to the Sharia system within their respective areas of responsibility, employing all available capacities in this endeavor.
Our traders and industrialists must intensify their efforts for the development and prosperity of our country so that our nation becomes self-sufficient and free from dependence on others. If we truly wish to preserve our independence and freedom and stand firm against all forms of threats, then we must recognize that in today’s world, these objectives are deeply connected to resources and economic strength. Let us unite in our efforts to build and fortify our homeland.
The economic institutions of the Islamic Emirate must also enhance their support for traders and industrialists by facilitating improved conditions and aiding their progress.
The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation, along with other pertinent institutions including provincial governors, must ensure the provision of adequate services to returning refugees. Their resettlement must be handled appropriately, and assistance should be provided for their transportation to the greatest extent possible.
All security and civil personnel of the Islamic Emirate must approach their responsibilities with seriousness and attentiveness. They should refrain from encroaching upon each other’s designated duties, as such interference results in disorder, mistrust, and widespread dissatisfaction. Serving the populace is considered an act of worship. Allah Almighty has entrusted you with the welfare of the people, and this constitutes a divine test. You are obliged to serve the people with full attention and diligence, as negligence is inexcusable. Remain vigilant, facilitate the fulfillment of people&#039;s needs, do not impose hardship, and ease their affairs—for Allah shall, in turn, ease yours. Do not squander people&#039;s time, do not shut them out, engage with them regularly, listen to their grievances and concerns, so that injustice may be averted, harm may be prevented, and rightful entitlements may be granted to all.
The system must function as a guardian and caretaker for the people, akin to a parent. It is responsible for safeguarding their rights and protecting their entrusted matters.
It is narrated:
عن أبي الشماخ الأزدي، عن ابن عم له من أصحاب النبي صلی ﷲ عليه وسلم، أتی معاوية فدخل علیه، فقال: سمعت رسول ﷲ صلی ﷲ عليه وسلم يقول: &quot; مَنْ وَلِيَ أَمْرًا مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ دُونَ الْمِسْكِينِ وَالْمَظْلُومِ أَوْ ذِي الْحَاجَةِ، أَغْلَقَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى دُونَهُ أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِهِ عِنْدَ حَاجَتِهِ وَفَقْرِهِ أَفْقَرَ مَا يَكُونُ إِلَيْهَا&quot; [ أخرجه أحمد].
Translation: Abu Al-Shamakh Al-Azdi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his uncle’s son, who was a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and may Allah be pleased with him, that he once visited Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever is entrusted with the affairs of the Muslims and then shuts his door to the poor, the oppressed, and the needy, Allah (SWT) will close the doors of His mercy upon him in his time of greatest need and poverty.
Adherence to the commands and directives of the leadership is obligatory. All are required to act within the bounds of this obedience.
Hazrat Umar (RA) stated:
إنه لا إسلام إلا بجماعة ، ولا جماعة إلا بإمارة ، ولا إمارة إلا بطاعة. [رواه عنه الدارمي.]
Translation: There is no Islam without community and unity; there is no community and unity without leadership (Emirate); and there is no leadership without obedience.
Students of madrasas, universities, and schools must remain committed to their studies and fulfill their responsibilities. They are to respect their teachers, books, and knowledge, and appreciate the opportunities afforded to them by making productive use of their time.
Be cautious not to waste time on futile pursuits. Anything that leads to idle or purposeless activity must be strictly avoided. Your attention must remain steadfast on your primary objective.
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمۡ عَنِ اللَّغۡوِ  ;مُعۡرِضُوۡنَ ﴿ۙ۳﴾[سورة المؤمنون]
Translation: And those who turn away from vain and idle activities.
The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
من حسن اسلام المرء ترکه ما لا یعنیه. ; [رواه الترمذي]
Translation: Among the signs of a person’s good practice of Islam is his avoidance of that which does not concern him.
Future generations will depend on your knowledge and experience; therefore, you must strive to become competent, knowledgeable individuals. Dedicate yourselves earnestly to academic and professional development in order to serve Islam, the Islamic system, and the people with excellence.
This year, approximately thirty thousand pilgrims from Afghanistan have traveled to the Sacred House of Allah to fulfill the great obligation of Hajj. I request these pilgrims—as well as all the honorable pilgrims who have arrived from across the world at the holy sanctuaries—to pray for us and for the entire Islamic Ummah.
The Zionist assaults and acts of oppression against women, children, and oppressed Muslims in Gaza and other regions of Palestine continue unabated. These actions constitute grave crimes against humanity and severe injustice. The Islamic Emirate once again declares its unwavering support for the oppressed people of Palestine, strongly condemns all forms of aggression and tyranny committed against them, and calls for their immediate cessation.
In conclusion, I once again extend heartfelt greetings on the occasion of Eid al-Adha to all Muslims. May Allah Almighty accept your worship, sacrifices, and Hajj, and may you always remain in happiness and prosperity.
Was-salamu ‘alaykum

                        <description><![CDATA[Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, inaugurated two electricity generation projects in Herat Province: a 43.2-megawatt wind power project and a 5-megawatt solar power project.
Delivering remarks at the inauguration ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Baradar Akhund stated: “Today, we are witnessing the inauguration of two major wind and solar power projects in Herat. This is considered a significant achievement in the expansion, modernization, and self-sufficiency of the country&#039;s energy sector.” He further asserted that these projects will not only reduce Afghanistan’s reliance on imported electricity, but also contribute to environmental protection, the advancement of sustainable energy, and the promotion of modern technologies.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that Afghanistan has historically been dependent on imported electricity, with a substantial portion of the national budget allocated annually for its procurement. In his view, imported electricity is both costly and not a reliable or advantageous long-term solution.
He further remarked that the Islamic Emirate is committed to the optimal utilization of domestic resources in the electricity sector and is pursuing serious efforts in this direction. He explained that these projects will not only strengthen the nation’s electricity generation capacity, but will also facilitate economic development, job creation, the stimulation of domestic and foreign investment, and the expansion of infrastructure.
In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister assured all domestic and international investors that the Islamic Emirate has established favorable conditions for investment across various sectors in Afghanistan, particularly in the energy sector, and has ensured a transparent and secure environment. He urged investors to take full advantage of this opportunity. He also called upon the contracting companies involved in the projects to implement the work in accordance with approved standards.
It is notable that over $64 million is being invested in the 43.2-megawatt wind power project, and approximately $3.5 million in the 5-megawatt solar power project, by the private sector in partnership with Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Statement from the Office of the Prime Minister in Response to the Genocide and Grave Humanitarian Crimes in Palestine]]></title>
                        <description><![CDATA[It is with profound sorrow that we observe the ongoing genocide in Gaza perpetrated by the Israeli occupying forces. The situation continues to deteriorate daily, in blatant violation of fundamental humanitarian principles.
Hundreds of civilians, including women and children, are being killed. Humanitarian aid corridors remain obstructed, while the wounded and martyrs are denied evacuation. The unlawful occupation of oppressed Muslim lands persists, accompanied by the daily use of increasingly lethal and disproportionate weaponry. The most disheartening aspect remains the silence—or the lack of meaningful action—by the international community, humanitarian organizations, and relevant authorities in response to these grave violations.
We once again strongly condemn the Israeli attacks and genocide in Gaza.
We call on all countries to take urgent and effective action to end this humanitarian catastrophe and halt the ongoing atrocities and oppression.
We call upon the people of Afghanistan to hold Qur’an recitations across mosque courtyards nationwide following today’s Friday prayer, as a unified demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian Muslims. Prayers should be offered for the relief, strength, and victory of the Palestinian mujahideen and the people of Gaza, expressing our compassion and unwavering support for their just cause.
We pray to Allah Almighty to grant victory to these oppressed and helpless Muslims, and to destroy, humiliate, and bring ruin upon the Israeli occupiers and their foreign supporters. ;
Ameen.

Prime Minister of Afghanistan

                        <description><![CDATA[His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minin (May Allah Protect Him) Delivers Speech at One-Day Seminar for Paktika Officials
Earlier today, His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minin, Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada (may Allah Almighty protect him), attended and delivered a speech at a one-day training and reform seminar held in Kandahar for officials from Paktika Province. The seminar was attended by the Governor and Deputy Governor of Paktika, the Head of the Provincial Ulema Council, as well as directors of departments, district governors, and sector commanders.
The seminar commenced with the recitation of verses from the Holy Qur’an, followed by an address from His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minin, Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada (may Allah protect him), who provided the participants with essential guidance.
His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) commended the dedicated service of all officials and offered key guidance to the seminar participants. He emphasized that Allah Almighty has bestowed honor upon humanity by granting intellect, knowledge, and wisdom, appointing mankind as His vicegerent on earth to uphold order and advance the affairs of life.
Throughout history, Allah Almighty sent His messengers to guide and reform humanity. They called people to His oneness and warned against idol worship, corruption, bloodshed, tribal conflicts, immorality, and unjust appropriation of wealth. This noble duty now lies with the scholars, who are the rightful heirs of the prophets.
His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) emphasized that Allah Almighty has recently granted Afghans success in two significant jihads, creating favorable conditions for the enforcement of Sharia. He encouraged everyone to set aside division, self-interest, tribal loyalties, and the desire for power, and to commit instead to unity, strict observance of Sharia, obedience to leadership, fulfilling the goals of jihad, advancing societal reform, ensuring justice, and advocating for righteousness while preventing wrongdoing.
In his closing remarks, His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minin (may Allah protect him) encouraged the seminar attendees to refine their intentions, seek guidance from scholars, practice humility and piety, offer honest advice to one another, engage in mutual reminders and discussions, avoid arrogance, and treat others with kindness and respect.
The seminar closed with a heartfelt invocation by His Highness Amir-ul-Mu’minin, seeking blessings and divine support for the leadership and the community.
Peace be upon you.
