Kirka Sharif

Kirka Sharif ( Shrine of the Cloak) is an Islamic shrine located in present-day Kandahar, Afghanistan. The shrine became notable in literature during the Second Anglo-Afghan War, when the British Indian army were trying to gain influence in Afghanistan. The shrine houses a mantle or cloak, believed to be the cloak of Prophet Muhammad, as worn by the Islamic prophet Muhammad during the Night Journey in the year 621.
Cloak of Muhammed.
This cloak or mantle reached Kirka Sharif when it was donated by the Afghan ruler Ahmed Shah Durrani (1722–1772), the father of modern Afghanistan and founder of the Durrani Empire. The sacred Muslim object itself had been given to Ahmed Shah by the amir of Bukhara around 1768. The cloak is said to have been worn by the Islamic prophet Muhammad during the famous Isra and Mi'raj, or Night Journey, in the year 621. It is one of the most revered relics in the Muslim world.
