A nice philatelic cover to share with all of you.
It is a magnificent
stamp and
First Day Cover issued by
Pakistan Post to commemorate
"Islamic Cultural Heritage". The stamp and FDC were issued on 14 December 1992.
Interestingly, the spellings of Al-Hamra are different on the stamp and the envelope. On the envelope it is spelled as
"Al-Hamra" whereas on the stamp it says
"Alhambra". Which ones are correct? Only a Spanish friend can help, I believe!
The picture on the cover also shows a mosque with the following words written inside (It is probably the monogram for
World Muslim Congress as written below too):-
"VERILY ALL BELIEVERS ARE BRETHERN"
The stamp is postmarked from
Philatelic Bureau Peshawar, which is the closest philatelic bureau to
Pak-Afghan Border in North, where all the fighting is underway on one pretext or the other.
