🕌 Kirka Sharif

The Khirka Sharif is an Islamic building complex located in the center of Kandahar, Afghanistan. The complex, which includes gardens and the local congregational mosque, became notable in English literature during the Second Anglo-Afghan War, when British India was trying to establish friendship with Afghanistan. The complex houses a khirqa as worn by the Islamic prophet Muhammad during the Night Journey in 621 AH (1224/1225 CE).
