They'll tell you how the enmity ends after death. And out of that feeling Shivaji Raje built Afzal's Qabr.
Amongst the chaos of misinformation that's being fed to the masses, one must not forget what the contemporary sources say.
1) Krushnaji Anant Sabhasad's Chronicle :

1) Krushnaji Anant Sabhasad's Chronicle :
" On the fourth day a message reached Bijapur, that Marathas have killed Afzal and took his head away. The entire army was butchered."
Further Krushnaji Ananta writes, "After the Pratapgad war, Shivaji Maharaj built a mandir of Maa Bhavani.
Further Krushnaji Ananta writes, "After the Pratapgad war, Shivaji Maharaj built a mandir of Maa Bhavani.
For this, they brought the murti sculpted in the stone found in the Gandak River (Nepal)."
IMO, if Krushnaji Ananta writes what Shivaji Raje established on the fort after the war, she would have written about the alleged Qabr of Afzal as well, if any.

2) Jedhe Shakawali : " Shivaji Maharaj Killed Afzal and beheaded him."
3) Jedhe Karina : " They beheaded Afzal Khan after Shivaji Maharaj arrived. (By that time he was almost dead with his guts hanging out of his stomach)"
"After the war, Afzal's head was sent to Rajgad for showcasing."

4) Shivbharat : "Krushnaji Bhaskar charged on Shivaji. He defended Krushnaji's blow with sword in one hand and cut Afzal's head into two with Patta in the other hand."
5) Letter by Henry Revington and Randolph Taylor to the company, 10 Dec 1959 (One month after Afzal's death) :
"After Shivaji stabbed Afzal in his heart, Shivaji's army fell on M*slims. Killed about 3000. And the rest flew. Shivaji chased them, captured the area in the pursuit
"After Shivaji stabbed Afzal in his heart, Shivaji's army fell on M*slims. Killed about 3000. And the rest flew. Shivaji chased them, captured the area in the pursuit
And reached fort Panhala."
From this letter it is evident that next day onwards only Shivaji Raje started his conquest.
Distance from Pratapgad to Panhala : 200 KM approx.
Shivaji raje reached Panhala 18 days later he killed Afzal. That's how rapid the conquest was.

Conclusion:
1) One thing is clear that Shivaji Maharaj beheaded Afzal and sent his head to Rajgad.
2) He started the campaign to annex the territory in the south from the next day.

3) it's estimated that Shivaji Maharaj must have built the Maa Bhavani Mandir on Pratapgad after Siddi Jauhar's siege at Panhala and Baji Prabhu's heroics.

Q. 1) How did Shivaji Maharaj get time to build a Qabr when he is constantly at war since the moment he killed Afzal ?
