Abstract

Poverty is an undesirable social phenomenon whose existence and expansion in society lead to all-around miserable consequences in the short and long term. This ominous phenomenon is condemned in all human religions and cultures, and various ways and methods have been proposed to eradicate it from society. Islam considers a life with prosperity and peace as the natural right of human beings and confronts the obstacles to the realization of this goal. Therefore, it gives teachings to its followers that, by following them, they will enjoy a life of full joy and contention, and their physical and mental health will be guaranteed. Undoubtedly, poverty is one of the biggest concerns of all human societies and economic systems. Poverty is one of the negative phenomena that pose a threat to life. Economic schools of thought have presented different ways to deal with it, but so far, they have not yet succeeded in eliminating poverty from human lives. Its occurrence is called an unpleasant complication. Poverty is one of the most important long-standing issues in developed and developing countries, including Islamic countries. To solve the problem of poverty, many studies have studied the factors affecting poverty. The purpose of this research is to identify the role of Islam in reducing poverty. In the question of the research, it is stated that what is the role of Islam in reducing poverty, and what are its recommendations for reducing poverty? The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical, and the required information was collected from library sources and a combination of the Delphi method.

Abstract

The most significant environmental threats today are global warming and climate change. The effects of climate change include water and food scarcity, disease, unemployment, migration, poverty, resource conflicts, and global instability. This study examines the role of climate change in Afghanistan’s geopolitical power. This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach and a survey method. The statistical research community includes experts and specialists in geopolitics, political science, climate science, and university professors. The questionnaire was distributed among them based on indicators related to climate change, development, and geopolitics. 80 questionnaires were collected. Based on these findings, a significant and inverse relationship exists between the impacts of climate change and development. Furthermore, the reduction in the development process has a significant and negative impact on Afghanistan’s geopolitical power. Finally, the reduction in development affects the change. Climate plays a mediating role in geopolitics. Then, the priority of parameters influencing climate change in geopolitics was discussed using Friedman’s comparison test. These parameters include 1) poverty and social anomalies, drought, and migration. In the suggestions section, it is emphasized that there is a need to implement effective methods, such as irrigation and the use of clean energy, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Abstract

A group of human beings produced the nation and founded the states, and political organizations have the power. All physical and spiritual capabilities that existed in the particular political and geographical territory can be called ‘national power’. National power has different sources and bases, which are considered to be the elements of ‘national power’. The issue of national power has been attracting the attention of geographers, geopolitical specialists, and global communication experts. Each group has introduced the elements for the ‘national power’. This academic and research article will help to recognize the effects of geographical factors on ‘national power’. In addition to this, the purpose of this research is to identify the elements and sources of ‘national power’. We have investigated those geographical factors that are highly affecting ‘national power’. The methodology of data collection for this particular research is library research. Many great, international, and reliable resources have been used and cited in this academic article and research. The result of this research states that, besides the other crucial factors for national power, geographical factors also play a very vital role in national power. Such geographical factors and their effects can be used to measure and get to know the power of countries or states. The importance of this research is knowing how countries benefit from the existence of geographical facilities and features of national and global power.

Abstract

T This study comprehensively examines the multifaceted challenges impeding rural development in Afghanistan and proposes strategic recommendations for achieving sustainable growth. The research employs extensive document analysis, a critical review, and a literature review spanning 2020 to 2024, analyzing institutional, socio-cultural, economic, environmental, and infrastructural factors affecting rural development. The findings reveal that development is hindered by institutional obstacles such as ineffective governance, centralized planning, and a lack of coherent strategies, alongside socio-cultural issues like migration, low educational attainment, gender disparities, and economic barriers including poverty, unemployment, and limited market access. Environmental concerns such as land degradation and inadequate infrastructure further exacerbate these challenges. The study recommends a holistic approach, emphasizing decentralization, community engagement, infrastructure investment, sustainable agricultural practices, and vocational training to build local capacities. Collaborative efforts between stakeholders are essential to drive sustainable development in Afghanistan's rural areas.

Abstract

This study explores innovative strategies for rural community empowerment, focusing on international best practices and their potential application in Afghanistan. Rural empowerment is critical for sustainable development, enhancing socio-economic resilience, and reducing poverty, particularly in underserved Afghan communities. However, limited research addresses context-specific approaches that integrate both global experiences and local needs. This study aims to fill this gap by identifying effective empowerment models from various countries and examining their relevance within the Afghan socio-cultural and economic landscape. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Data were collected from 300 rural participants across Afghanistan, along with interviews and focus group discussions with local leaders, NGO representatives, and international experts. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to survey data, while thematic analysis was used for qualitative insights to capture diverse perspectives on empowerment challenges and enablers. Key findings highlight that community-led vocational training, microfinance initiatives, and gender-inclusive programs are essential for effective empowerment. Notably, vocational skills aligned with local needs significantly increased economic independence, while community-managed microfinance enhanced financial security and trust. Gender-inclusive approaches were found to be vital in overcoming social barriers, particularly in conservative rural regions. The study concludes that adapting international empowerment models to local contexts can significantly improve their impact. Recommendations include establishing localized training, fostering cooperative economic activities, and introducing community-led monitoring systems. This research contributes to the field by providing a practical framework for rural empowerment in Afghanistan, offering policymakers actionable insights to design culturally sensitive, sustainable development programs.

Abstract

This study presents a historical–geographical reconstruction of overland pilgrimage routes used by Afghan Hajj pilgrims between 1100 and 1900 CE. By integrating geo-referenced historical maps, GPS-verified field surveys, and classical pilgrimage narratives, the research examines the spatial configuration of caravanserai infrastructure and the evolution of religious logistics across multiple political and environmental contexts. Through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial network analysis, the study identifies a small-world structure within the caravanserai network, highlighting five central hubs that served as critical points for provisioning and connectivity. Temporal segmentation of the network reveals shifts in node density and service typologies under Seljuk, Ilkhanid, Timurid-Safavid, and Qajar-Afghan rule. The findings contribute to the fields of historical geography and pilgrimage studies by offering a replicable framework for analyzing sacred mobility systems. They also inform heritage conservation strategies and sustainable pilgrimage logistics in arid and mountainous contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates how the design and implementation of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) curricula can be optimized to meet evolving labor market demands and thereby stimulate sustainable economic growth in Afghanistan. Employing a convergent mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected via a structured questionnaire administered to 312 TVET graduates and 48 industry employers across Kabul, Herat, and Kandahar. Reliability and validity of the instrument were confirmed through Cronbach’s alpha (α = 0.87) and expert panel review. Qualitative insights were obtained from 20 semi-structured interviews with curriculum developers, trainers, and policymakers, and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Quantitative results demonstrate a statistically significant gap between current curriculum competencies and employer-identified skill requirements (t(359) = 5.42, p < 0.001), particularly in digital literacy (mean difference = 1.26 on a 5-point scale) and soft skills (mean difference = 0.98). Qualitative findings reveal three primary themes: (1) outdated course content, (2) limited industry-academic collaboration, and (3) resource constraints. Based on these findings, we propose a framework for iterative curriculum updates, strengthened partnerships with private-sector stakeholders, and targeted professional development for TVET instructors. Implementing these recommendations is expected to enhance graduate employability by up to 30% and contribute an estimated USD 0.5 billion annually to Afghanistan’s GDP. This study provides evidence-based guidance for policymakers, educators, and international development agencies aiming to align TVET curricula with market realities in post-conflict economies

Abstract

Desert tourism in western Afghanistan presents both investment potential and socio-environmental risks, yet empirical guidance for prioritizing interventions is scarce. This study identifies and ranks investment priorities and persistent barriers to sustainable desert tourism and examines how community participation mediates investor intent. This study used a convergent mixed-methods design. Decision criteria were elicited with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) from n = 15 regional and sector experts; criteria weights were applied to a TOPSIS ranking of preferences derived from a structured survey of n = 300 stakeholders. Qualitative triangulation was provided by semi-structured interviews (n = 25). AHP pairwise matrices were evaluated for consistency (report CRs in manuscript). Inferential analyses (multiple regression and mediation testing using bootstrap resampling) examined relationships among perceived risks, community partnership mechanisms, and investment intent. Results show AHP/TOPSIS integration produced a clear priority ordering of investment criteria; green-technology and community-partnership mechanisms emerged among top priorities (see Table X). Survey models show statistically significant associations between perceived security risks and reduced investor intent; community participation attenuates this relationship (bootstrapped indirect effect — report point estimate and 95% CI). Qualitative themes corroborate quantitative rankings and clarify context-specific barriers (infrastructure gaps, governance, and security). Combining AHP and TOPSIS with qualitative evidence yields actionable, locally grounded investment priorities for desert tourism policy and planning. Prior to submission, insert exact CR values, regression coefficients, p-values, and bootstrap CIs in the placeholders provided. Limitations include cross-sectional design and sample representativeness.

Abstract

This research examines the impact of water resources management on Afghanistan's international relations, particularly with neighboring countries such as Iran, Pakistan and Tajikistan. As a landlocked country, Afghanistan is highly dependent on water resources, which are vital to its political, economic and social stability. The purpose of this study is to analyze the opportunities and challenges associated with water resources management and the importance of international cooperation in this context. The research used a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with experts and stakeholders, as well as a survey to assess the views of local communities. Data analysis was conducted using statistical software such as SPSS and NVivo. The findings show that effective water resources management can reduce international tensions and improve Afghanistan's socio-economic conditions. In addition, the lack of international agreements can lead to discontent and recurrent tensions between Afghanistan and neighboring countries. The research also identified climate change as a significant factor affecting the availability of water resources. Effective management of water resources is not only important for Afghanistan's domestic stability, but also for its international relations. The research recommends the need for comprehensive international agreements and infrastructure development to improve sustainable water management and encourage regional cooperation.
