Every Afghan knows about the Kherqa-ye Sharif, though many have not gone to Kandahar in recent years to visit it, as was common before the decades of war made such a trip rather risky. In fact, the Cloak, which belonged to Prophet Muhammad, enjoys a certain renown even among foreigners, Muslim or not, because of its recent appearance in the realm of international politics. In the spring of 1996, the Taleban leader Mullah Omar displayed it to a crowd in Kandahar in what is considered to have been a turning point in his claim to supreme leadership over all of Afghanistan.
According to Muslim traditions, a heavenly cloak or kherqa was the only physical token from Prophet Muhammad’s Mi’raj, his spiritual journey to the skies in the company of the archangel Jibrail (Gabriel). As such, it constitutes per se a wondrous sign, whose holiness is believed by many Muslims to work further miracles. Near to his death, the Prophet instructed his cousin and son-in-law Ali to give the Cloak to a Yemeni called Uways Qarani, whom he had never seen but who he knew would accept Islam and who was bound to become a major character within the first Muslim community. After the latter’s death, according to the Maktubat of Miyan Faqirullah Shikarpuri – the khalifa (local Sufi leader deputed by a superior spiritual guide) of a Naqshbandi Sufi circle in Kandahar, who in late 18th century left a history of the Cloak in his collection of fatwas – the Kherqa was laid in the Ghar Hira, the cave near Mecca where the Quranic revelations started. Discovered some years later, it was taken to Baghdad and then to Bukhara. From there, the story of its further movements becomes more debated.
Today, the Cloak is hosted in its namesake shrine in Kandahar, the Kherqa-ye Sharif, a mosque standing in front of Ahmad Shah Durrani’s mausoleum. It was in fact the founding father of Afghanistan who brought the holy artefact to Kandahar in 1768. While it is agreed that the relic arrived in that year in the then Durrani capital, it is not certain from whence. Previous possession of the Cloak has been attributed to Bukhara in current-day Uzbekistan or to Faizabad in Badakhshan province.
