Mausoleum of Prophet Qeydar

[1][2] In 1350, the building was restored and renovated with funding from a Sufi religious leader named Timur Khan Soltaniyeh.

[1][4] The mausoleum of Prophet Qeydar has an area of approximately 120.40 square metres, in a rectangular shape, its central chamber topped by a brick dome.

On the southern side of the shabestan is an early Nastaliq inscription dating back to 1319, which details the construction of the new building by Bulughan Khatun.

[1][4] Walnut wood embedded with gold and silver is used to construct the zarih that encloses the grave of Qedar in the central chamber of the mausoleum.

[5][6][7][8] In Islamic tradition, which accepts the biblical narrative, adds on that Qedar is an ancestor of the prophet Muhammad, hence the importance of this tomb.
