Etymology[edit]
The Mubarak al-Mervazi Mausoleum is named after a descendant of Muhammad, Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak.
Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak's full name is Abu Abdurahman Abdullah ibn al-Hanzali al-Mervazi (736-797). He was born in the ancient city of Marv in Transoxiana (present-day Mary in Turkmenistan) and passed away at the age of 63 in the city of Khurasan, near the Euphrates in present-day Iraq, in the year 798. He was buried in the same place.[3][4] He is renowned as a knowledgeable scholar, a Sufi, and a hadith scholar.[5] His activities were primarily centered on Marv.[5] He traveled to many cities in the Islamic world, including Baghdad, Basra, Mecca, Medina, Balkh, Bukhara, Samarkand, and Qarshi, where he learned from nearly four thousand scholars.[6] During his travels, he met and studied with Abu Hanifa and held a prominent place among his most distinguished disciples. He wrote works on Sufism, jurisprudence, hadith studies, history, philology, and commentary on the Quran.[5][7]
Mubarak al-Mervazi's shrine was brought to Amir Timur's attention and a symbolic tomb was erected in the village of Hoja Mubarak.[8]
Structure[edit]
The entrance part of the Mubarak al-Mervazi mausoleum is constructed with two domes. On the back facade, there are inscriptions in Kufic script with blue paint and white letters. Additionally, in the center, there is Mubarak al-Mervazi's tomb, a prayer room, a small pool, and a courtyard. The complex is surrounded by a thick wall. The mausoleum does not occupy such a large area. The surroundings of the burial site remained in a dilapidated state for many years. In 2017–2018, the area around the mausoleum was extensively renovated.
