Khayesta Afghanistan

[Saifullah]

This is just a minority opinion and i dont believe it...

^ prehaps but just because its believed by a minority doesnt mean it should be discredited.

[Saifullah]

Hazrat Ali instructed that his burial place should remain secret. According to legend the dead body of Hazrat Ali was placed on a camel which was driven from Kufa. The camel stopped a few miles west of Kufa, and here the dead body of Hazrat Ali was buried secretly. No tomb was raised and nobody knew of the burial place except a few trusted persons It is narrated that more than a hundred years later, the Abbasid Caliph, Harun-ur-Rashid went deer-hunting outside Kufa, and the deer sought sanctuary at a place where the hounds would not pursue it. On enquiry as to why the place was a sanctuary, Harun-ur-Rashid was told that it was the burial place of Hazrat Ali r.a. Harun-ur-Rashid ordered a mausoleum to be built on the spot. In due course the town of Najaf grew round the mausoleum.

So it seems he was being buried secretly, but not taken so far away towards Balkh because he could be buried secretly somewhere nearby...why thousand of miles away?

[Saifullah]

Well it doesn't make sense to secretly bury Ali (ra) in Balkh which is so far away....He got buried in Najaf, which is away from Kufa...thats where he was secretly buried

^ Allah knows, but if that isnt him, then who is it?

This is option number 1 that its of Hazrat Ali. What maybe other option?

Like Saif wror said, maybe because Hazrat Ali had visited that place and people used to admire him a lot in Balkh, this 'ziyarat' could have been build in his name. I am not too sure, difference sources claim different things.

Shayesta khorey, these are the same photos you sent to me on facebook, right?

Many people believe that's where Hazrat Ali is burried, but we've heard that Zardosht is buried there in reality. Who knows!
