Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the dynamic-content-for-elementor domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Getting There<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Mausoleum of Muhammad ibn Zayd is located within the Ancient Merv State Historical and Cultural Reserve, about 2 km north-west of the Sultan Sanjar mausoleum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As Muhammad ibn Zayd died in the early 9th century in the Abbasid Caliphate, it is extremely unlikely that his remains were re-interred at this site. More likely it served as a commemorative memorial for the local Sh’ia population. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main structure is rectangular in shape and comprises several domed chambers, with Zayd’s memorial chamber located in the southwest corner. The building faces WSW so that its west wall acts as a qibla, indicating the direction of Mecca. Curiously, although it did not serve as a mosque, the memorial chamber includes a mihrab (niche) that is typically located on the qibla wall to orient worshippers in the proper direction.<\/p>\n\n\n
