Ep-64 : Shrine of Hz. Yahya (Son of Zaid shaheed r.a) in sar e Pol #LostMaqam
I was least interested in this province as during my initial research there was nothing but as it turned out during my time waiting in kabul ministry of information and culture i found out that there is a 1000 year old site related to Imam Yahya, son of Zaid shaheed, who was martyred here in sar e pol province in northern Afghanistan.
This shrine as it turned out, is one of the most sacred shrine for shia Muslim in all of Afghanistan. The facts and stories that were told to me by the locals are covered in the video and it sure was something that i really would have missed but fortunately i didn't.

As a bonus i also found out another Qadamgah related to Imam Ali in Jowzjan Province, a neighbouring province to Sar e Pol
Ep-65 : Coming to Mazaar e shareef #DubiousMaqam
All throughout Iran and Afghanistan i have gathered around 15-20 sites only related to Maula ALi a.s. Just in Afghanistan alone, i have got around 4-5 Qadamgahs related to Hz ALi a.s and there is no denying the fact that Mazaar e shareef, where it is said that the body of Imam Ali a.s was secretly brought here from Iraq, is one of the most important Maqam related to Imam Ali a.s in Afghanistan.
Now whether this place is a burial place or not is still questionable which i have covered in upcoming videos but coming to Mazaar e Shareef felt like a dream come true. Really,...I was singing songs as i was slowely riding towards mazar,....
Byake bore ba mazaar mulla mohammad jaan,....You gotta listen to this song if you really like folk love stories.
Although I am a bathroom singer but i think i did a pretty good job. Coming in the videos as well.

Ep 66 : Zadian minaret and finding #LostMaqam burial site of Prophet Saleh a.s and debunking the myth regarding shrine of Hz Abu hurairah r.a in Zadian, a small hamlet in Balkh.
Balkh is truly remarkable. I couldn't believe that i will find here not one not two but three burial places attributed to ancient prophets. Can you believe that?
My purpose of going to zadian, a small town 40 kms north of balkh was where i wanted to go regarding a place that claimed to be the burial place of the sahabi Hz Abu hurairah r.a but as I rode to the village i found out that the main ziarat of that small town is not the sahabi, but the prophet Saleh himself. very close to the famous zadian minaret.
I was really amazed to find his grave site which is not mentioned in any site that i researches throughout years of online research.
