In this first chapter of the three-part Muslims Explored series \u201cThe Heart of Afghanistan,\u201d OnePath Network journeys beyond the headlines to meet the people behind the narrative and uncover the reality of a nation shaped by decades of war, resilience, faith, and hope. Through firsthand encounters and authentic storytelling, this series seeks to understand Afghanistan not through assumptions \u2014 but through human connection and lived experience. From traditional markets and Jumu\u2019ah prayer at one of Kabul\u2019s largest mosques, to conversations about occupation, identity, and the hopes of a new generation, The Heart of Afghanistan explores the country through an Islamic lens grounded in compassion, history, and truth. This is only the beginning of a deeper journey into Afghanistan\u2019s past, present, and future.
