I like this historical places..... It's amazing

Lots of stories. Lovely place but unfortunately on the verge of destruction.

Always a pleasure to see such ancient structures standing the test of time. A must see location when visiting Herat.

The Minerats of Herat are the living proof for how ancient the city is, and how it shined throughout the history for centuries and centuries.
In love with its sunset 🌇view.

A beautiful place for visiting 💙

Not much to do in Herat except visit mosque, shrines, ruins, ancient bridges and soveneir shops.

One of the many historical places in Herat that every tourist must visit. There had been more than 5 Manars before but some of them colapsed during last centuries due to different reasons such as wars, not paying attention and geological reasons

It is good place where you can see the historical minarets

Mahdi (A) but some Ulema remained uncommitted and were desirous of further verification about his
claim. Hence on the advice of the Ulema who were satisfied about the spiritual eminence and claim of
the Imam (A) the Governor addressed a detailed letter to the King of Khorasan Abdul Ghazi Mirza
Sultan Hussain stating in detail about the arrival of the Imam (A) in his territory. The Governor
reported that Hazrat Mahdi (A) was the descendent of Hazrat Imam Hussain (R) and his noble pedigree
is adored by saints of high eminence and scholars of high repute and achievement. He stated that the
Syed (A) claimed to be the Promised Mahdi (A) and in his capacity as the Caliph of God. He asserted,
in the light of the Quran and traditions of the Prophet (A), that it was possible to behold God during
one's life time for those who are deserving. He enjoined upon all Muslims to cherish the desire to have
the vision of Almighty. Moreover he claimed to be the absolute follower of the prophet Mohammed
(PBUH) and his mission was to fight with the forces of evil and to eradicate evil customs and beliefs
which had crept into the pure Islamic tradition and to revive the Shariat of the Prophet (A). Moreover,
as Mahdi (A), caliph of God, his mission was to prepare the deserving Muslims for highest spiritual
rewards culminating into marifat-e-Ilahi (mystic awareness of God) and Deedar (Vision of God). The
Governor further reported to the King that on hearing about his claims, as an initial reaction, he tried to
subdue the Imam (A) by show of force; but the Imam (A) was not perturbed and graceful1y continued
his mission. He describes the miracles of the Imam (A) which he and other nobles and Ulema
witnessed and he also gave the details of the discourse of the Imam (A) with the eminent scholars of
the city and gave testimony to the strict adherence of the Imam (A) to Quran and obedience to the
Prophet (S), his pure and selfless life and his total aversion to worldly ambitions. Mir Zunoon reported
to the King that after careful verification of the genuineness of the claim made by the Imam (A) he and
most of the Ulema of Farah had became his disciples and invited the King to join the circle of devotees.
Sultan Hussain was a powerful ruler of Khorasan (now Afghanistan) having his capital at Herat.
He was endowed with many virtues including scholarship and poetic talents. According to Allama
Syed Hussain, he was the author of the book "Majlis-ul-Ushaq". This indicates his leanings towards
Sufism. He was a great patron of scholars and saints and hence many scholars were attracted to adore
his capital city and his kingdom. The said biographer, on the basis of historical evidence, has
mentioned in his commendable biography of the Imam (A) that about twelve thousand scholars and
divines were under his patronage throughout his kingdom.
Moved by the letter of Mir Zunoon, the Sultan called the scholars of his court and directed them
to verify about the facts stated by Mir Zunoon and the claim of Hazrat Syed Mohammed (A), with care
and caution, as the issue involved a delicate matter of faith. Notable among the Ulema consulted by the
Sultan was Mullah Ahmed Saifuddin, the Shaikh-ul-Islam of his kingdom. There is confusion in the
biographies about the name of this Shaikh-ul-Islam. In Shawahid-ul-Vilayat the name is given as Shah
Baig by the venerable author on page 228 of 1379 Hijri. Edition; the Governor of Khandahar also had
the same name as stated above. Hazrat Syed Hussain gives the name of Shaikh-ul-Islam as Mullah
Ahmed Saifuddin in his book 'Al Mahdi-Al Maud' on page 342. But the same author describes the
Shaikh-ul-Islam as Shah Baig on page 343. Shah Baig might be a title conferred on both the Shaikh-ul-
Islam and the Governor of Khandahar. He was a great scholar, well-versed in all branches of Islamic
theology and Sufism and had a large circle of devotees and pupils. Under his guidance the Ulema of
Herat studied in detail for quite a long time about the concept of #Mahdavia
