Notes
This booklet is about the revered shrine of Mazar-i Sharif located in Afghanistan, and the author, Murid Muhiyy al-Din Nushahrawi, has cited various references claiming that this shrine does indeed belong to Hadrat ʿAli ibn Abi Talib, the cousin of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. The author presents different statements to support this assertion. Additionally, the booklet describes the Mela Gul-i Surkh (which is often referred to as the Jashn-i Nawroz), noting that thousands of ailments are healed and miraculous occurrences take place during this event. In ancient times, this area was known as Balkh. | For detailed biographical information about Muhammad Murid Muhiyy al-Din Nushahrawi, refer to ʿUlamaʾ wa-Mashayikh-i Sarhad Volume 2 (reference number 01946 in this collection). | Digitization for the Sufi Shrine Libraries of the Afghan-Pakistan Frontier collection was sponsored by the Modern Endangered Archives Program with funding from Arcadia. | public domain
