Abstract

This article examines the cultural practices of Pashtun society, focusing on the absence of Islamic cultural elements and the growing impact of modernity and Westernization. It analyzes the historical background of Pashtun tribal structure, Pashtunwali, Jirga, and social institutions, and their interaction with Islamic teachings. The study highlights ideological and practical manifestations of cultural change, its causes, effects, and possible corrective measures. It argues that balancing tradition with Islamic values and modern challenges is essential for cultural identity preservation.
