Maqam Ra's al-Husayn (a): Difference between revisions

There is a mausoleum in the city of Imam Sahib, located in Kunduz province north of [[Afghanistan]]. The epigraphy at the entrance of the mausoleum reads that after the [[Event of Karbala]], Imam al-Husayn's (a) head was moved to Ashkelon in Syria. In the sixth/twelfth century, the Fatimid caliph of [[Egypt]] moved the head to Egypt, but before the head was buried there, some Turks took the head to Bactria and buried it in a place called Arhang. In this place (just like the mausoleum of Shahmardan in [[Mazar-i-Sharif]]), the flag of the mausoleum is taken every year on March 29, and then there is a ceremony in the city for forty days. Local officials and visitors from nearby and distant places attend the ceremony.
