A metal copy of the hand of Fatima (Mohammad’s daughter) is seen on the door of Asheqan wa Arefans shrine, after rehabilitation of the shrine in Kabul, Afghanistan, Nov. 22, 2007. On a smaller scale in the old city – but with far more direct impact on the community – the Aga Khan Trust for Culture has restored mosques, shrines, a public bathhouse and 11 homes that were at risk of collapsing after numerous blows from earthquakes, fires and war, or of being torn down by owners to make room for new construction.
