Ep 67 Finding the #LostMaqam of Prophet Sheeth a.s in Balkh
Another prophet in balkh. This time it was prophet Sheeth a.s near the bala hissar (the great fort) of Balkh.
The stories of war and bandits that i heard from a local friend that i made onto my way to the shrine really gave me the chills as this locality was once home to the most cruel and barbaric people that lived in this area and how they used to really murder people for chump change. Thanks to the very tight security of Taliban all of those bad guys are gone now and peace has finally prevailed in the city after long years of war.
This is the shrine that is attributed to prophet sheeth a.s in balkh city.

Ep 68 Finding the #LostMaqam of Prophet Ayyub a.s salam, a sahaba named hz akasha r.a, madrasa of the father of Jalaluddin Rumi r.a and a great Awliya from India, all in Balkh,...again! #LostMaqam
For sure this episode is really something. I explained in the video that how three maqams that i found during my online research were extremely important for me to find. One was ashab e kahf which i found, one is chashma e hayat related to Khidr a.s which i haven't found, and one was chashma e Ayyub a.s that i wanted to find in balkh.
And thanks to my expert, or should i say genius ways of finding things i finally found what i was looking for. But to my surprise it wasn't a chashma (spring) related to porphet Ayyub a.s it was a burial site (lo and behold). It really shocked me to find the burial place of a prophet in a rural town of devoli maidan that you won't even find in google maps.
I mean i know that it is highly unlikely that this is the real burial place but don't you find it fascinating that literally in the middle of nowhere you have a burial place that is attributed to a famous prophet of Islam.
I do. I literally feed on the curiousity that how in the world this place got it's name as the burial place of a prophet.
And for this we need to build a system where we can gather all the data we have regarding all prophets and quranic places so that we can grade sites that are more prominent than others.
Don't you think so?
More coming in the videos.

Also on the same day i was able to find one sahabi burial place, one awliya site filled with bullet holes and a madrasa of the father of Hz Jalaluddin Rumi r.a
