Abstract
The fall of the Safavid dynasty in 1135 AH, caused by simultaneous and related crises, opened the ground for the Afghans to seize power. The rule of Afghans over Iran was accompanied by unfortunate and negative consequences for the Iranian society and caused irreparable damage to all the country's pillars. Meanwhile, rural life in Iran was severely damaged. Based on the descriptive and explanatory method, this article examines the rural life of Iran during the Afghan period. The findings of the research show that the lack of political instability, the emergence of multiple power centers, the collection of heavy taxes, the insecurity of the roads, killings and looting, and the reduction of the country's active population have led to the stagnation and decline of rural life in Iran during the Afghan era.
