War In Afghanistan from WikiPedia:

The Islamic conquest of Afghanistan (642–870) began after the Islamic conquest of Persia, when Arab Muslims defeated the Persian Sassanians at the battles of Walaja, al-Q?disiyyah and Nahavand. The Arabs then began to move towards the lands east of Persia and in 642 captured the city, Herat.

The invasion of Persia was completed five years after the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and all of the Persian territories came under Arab control, though pockets of tribal resistance continued for centuries in the Afghan territories.

During the 7th century, Arab armies made their way into the region of Afghanistan with the new religion of Islam. At this point in time the area that is currently Afghanistan had a multi-religious population consisting of Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Jews, as well as others.
