The 2013 incarnation of the emblem used by the internationally recognized government of Afghanistan has the inscription of the shahada in Arabic at the top. Below it is the image of a mosque with a mihrab and minbar, or pulpit, within.[2] Attached to the mosque are two flags, taken to stand for flags of Afghanistan. Beneath the mosque is an inscription that states the name of the nation. Around the mosque are sheaves of wheat, and underneath that, the Solar Hijri year 1298 (1919 in the Gregorian calendar), the year Afghanistan gained independence from the British influence.

Following the fall of Kabul to Taliban forces on 15 August 2021, the current status of the emblem is under dispute as the country is disputed between the de facto Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the de jure Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
