Afghanistan National Anthem (1992-2006; Instrumental) Fortress of Islam, Heart of Asia

The Islamic State of Afghanistan (Persian: دولت اسلامی افغانستان ; Pashto: دا افغانستان اسلامی دولت‎) was the government of Afghanistan, established by the Peshawar Accords in April 1992 by many, but not all, Afghan mujahideen parties, after the fall of the communist government. Its power was limited due to civil war.
From 1996, it became a government in exile when the Taliban took power of Kabul and established the mostly unrecognized Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The Islamic State was in control of the country again after the Taliban government was overthrown by the United States in 2001 after an invasion. In 2002 it was succeeded by the Transitional Islamic State of Afghanistan.

"Fortress of Islam, Heart of Asia" (Persian: قلعه اسلام قلب اسیا‎) is a Afghan mujahideen battle song composed in 1919 by Ustad Qasim. It was adopted as the national anthem of Afghanistan in 1992.
