Imam al-Maturidi Mausoleum
Imom Moturidiy maqbarasi
Mausoleum of the founder of the Maturidi school of Sunni Islam, with a blue-domed memorial hall and gardens rebuilt in 2000.
Abu Mansur al-Maturidi (c. 853-944) was born on the outskirts of Samarkand. He founded the Maturidi school, one of the two major schools of Sunni theology, which has had enormous influence in Central Asia, Turkey and South Asia. The original mausoleum was destroyed, and in 2000 a blue-domed memorial hall and garden were rebuilt on the same site. Pilgrim groups from Turkey and South Asia often visit. Free entry, but dress modestly. It lies about 1 km southeast of Khoja Ahrar Bazaar and can be visited on foot together with the Hazrat Khizr Mosque.
