Mohammad's tomb is described as: "The Amir Dost Muḥammad’s tombstone is a plain simple but handsome block of pure white marble, some 8 feet in length by about 1 1⁄2 or 2 feet in height and breadth, finely carved and surrounded by a marble balustrade. It lies just to the north of the Saint’s tomb in the open enclosure. At the head and foot of the grave stand small blocks of white marble carved in imitation, but a very bad imitation, of the head and foot stones of the Khwajah’s tomb. They are dwarfed and quite lost in comparison with the original monuments." Dost Mohammad Khan's death plunged the entirety of Afghanistan into national mourning. Legacy Dost Mohammad Khan is remembered as one of Afghanistan's greatest if not the greatest ruler in its history. Dost Mohammad Khan successfully ended the Afghan Civil war that raged from 1793-1863, and unified most of Afghanistan under its rule after it had collapsed following the demise of the Durrani Empire. However, after his death, Afghanistan was plunged into another civil war that lasted from 1863-1869, where the throne was fought over by Sher Ali Khan, Mohammad Azam Khan, and Mohammad Afzal Khan, with Sher Ali prevailing in the end. Alongside this, Dost Mohammad is credited for laying the foundations of the first modern Afghan state. Alongside this, Dost Mohammad Khan had unified the cities of Kabul, Kandahar, and Herat under one ruler. This was not achieved by any one of his predecessors except Ahmad Shah Durrani. Dost Mohammad's conquest of Herat also marked the end of Persian attempts to try and seize Herat again. According to Jonathan Lee, Dost Mohammad is also mentioned as "Afghanistan's luckiest ruler." This is due to his survival of numerous assassination attempts and even sabotage from his own family to stunt his reign. Despite this, Dost Mohammad made common cause with the British and signed two Anglo-Afghan treaties that eased relations following the First Anglo-Afghan War, and allowed for Dost Mohammad to begin pushing for the re-unification of Afghanistan. As Jonathan lee writes: "Dost Mohammad Khan had bounced back from one misfortune after another." Toward the end of his life, he had successfully expanded his realm from just Kabul and its surrounding environs to encompass all of Afghanistan from frontiers of the Amu Darya river in the north, and Ghurian in the west with his border with Persia.
