The dream of Nazoo Anaa
On the night that Mirwais was born (1673) his mother, Nazoo Anaa, dreamed of Baitt Neeka (an ancient and famous benevolent leader of Afghans). He told Nazoo Anaa to take best of care of the new baby, because, when the child grows up, the country would be blessed by his services. Nazoo Anaa, from time to time, recalled the miraculous dream to her son and advised him to perform deeds with authenticity. Young Mirwais eternally followed his mother's advice and ended up becoming the lion of Kandahar and a great leader of Afghanistan.
