Visiting the Graves of the Companions of the Prophet (May Allah Be Pleased With Them)

On a hill at Bala Hissar Fort, 72 Companions of the Prophet (may Allah be pleased with them) are buried in a simple communal grave. Only the ruins of the fort remain today because the artillery of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar’s forces destroyed it. Large piles of stones can be seen throughout the area.
