Asheqan and Arefan
by Hossein Shahidi01-Jun-2012
The pictures are those of a small shrine in Kabul, known as the resting place of two brothers, Asheqan (Lover) and Arefan (Mystic), grandsons of the 11th century pir or sage of Herat, Khajah Abdollah Ansari.

the other gives you a chance to learn, to love and succeed
There was no insight regarding what about the injustice that comes with being a victim of unforgivable acts. Any one finds an answer to that one I appreciate an insight on it.
Thank you
by Jahanshah Javid on Fri Jun 01, 2012 09:23 PM PDTYour best photo essay so far. Great pictures. The shrine and the story behind it were charming. The religious signs and symbols were disturbing. I thought about how deep superstition runs. But that's just me. You know me :) Thanks so much for sharing. I learned and enjoyed.
