Kirqa Sharif Mosque contains the cloak of Mohammad, which was received from the Emir of Bokhara in 1768. The shrine adjoins the Mausoleum of Ahmad Shah Durrani. The tilework by Kanadahari tile makers was exquisite. It is not possible to view the cloak, although the Taliban exhibited it once during their rule.
