This is the Mazar-e Sharif Mosque located in Afghanistan. This Shrine was completed in the 15th century. This mosque has major significance to followers of Islam, as it was erected in the believed spot of the prophet Muhammad’s son-in-laws tomb. In addition to this, the mosque features intense beauty with its grand use of turqouise in its arabesque mosaic patterns that cover the entirety of the shrine/mosque. White marble covers the ground of both the interior and exterior.

The "Mazar-e Sharif" means "Noble Shrine", a reference to the large, blue-tiled sanctuary and mosque in the center of the city known as the Shrine of Hazrat Ali or the Blue Mosque. Some Muslims believe that the tomb of Ali ibn Abi Talib, the cousin and son-in-law of Prophet Muhammad, is at this mosque in Mazari Sharif. Photo by: Naimat Rawan
