Tomb of Qazali
Qazali and his respected personage, his life and death in
Tous, has made his devotees attempt to discover the
whereabouts of his grave.
Following the suggestion of American priest, Donaldson, in
1917, many believed that "Harounieh" is Qazali's
mausoleum and tomb.
According to written testimonies, the location of Qazali's
true tomb and mausoleum was outside of Tous' Wall and also
because "Harounieh" architecture style belonged
to 13-14th century AD, so it cannot be accepted that
"Harounieh" is Qazali's mausoleum and tomb.
With these assumptions, in 1995, in a point outside of
Tous' Wall, at the distance of 100 m from the fence, known
to the informed local as the tomb of Qazali, scientific
experiments resulted the discovery of architectural
remains of Qazali Tomb. It was matched to the details of
the eroded Qazali Tomb, given in the book "Mihman-nameh
Bukhara".
The discovered building contains two stories:
Upper floor, where all bricks have been removed and only a
skeleton remained, was an octagonal area with painted
walls and bricked and tiled view of the same kind, as tomb
towers.
Lower floor, cross-like, four-terraced with plastered
walls and an altar with green tiles erected on other
sides.
On the testimony of Kufic Cornice, on the ceiling of this
place, plaster-work, altar and tiles, it could be said
that this place has been his mausoleum until his death;
afterwards it had became his grave and a dome was
constructed on the top of it, while it was still a
mausoleum for the faithful and the scholar.
