Bahá'í Faith in Afghanistan
The Bahá'í Faith in Afghanistan was introduced in 1880s when some Baha'is visited Afghanistan. However, it wasn't until the 1930s that a Bahá'í community was established there. The first Bahá'í administrative institution Local Spiritual Assembly was elected in 1948 in Kabul and then was re-elected in 1969. Though the population had perhaps reached thousands, under the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the harsh rule of the Taliban the Bahá'ís lost the right to have any institutions and many fled. Although the Association of Religion Data Archives estimated there were some 15000 Bahá'ís in 2005, the Bahá'ís in Afghanistan number at approximately 400 according to a more recent 2007 US estimate.
