  • Le mausolée de Gazorgah ou lieu de la purification dit aussi mausolée de Khawâdjâ Abdallâh Ansârî est un complexe funéraire et un sanctuaire situé à quelques kilomètres de la ville d'Hérat, en Afghanistan. L'aura dont bénéficie Khawâdjâ Abdallâh Ansârî, désigné guide de sa cité, fait que le lieu est choisi comme lieu d'inhumation par des personnages importants. Le monument fait l'objet de nombreuses réfections y compris par une aide internationale dans les années 1970 et les dégradations, y compris dans la période récente avec le joug des Talibans, ont été heureusement limitées. C'est encore « un des plus importants monuments » du pays selon Bernard Dupaigne. (fr)
  • The Shrine of Khwaja Abd Allah, commonly called the Shrine at Gazur Gah (or just Gazur Gah) and the Abdullah Ansari Shrine Complex, is the funerary compound of the Sufi saint Khwaja Abdullah Ansari. It is located at the village of Gazur Gah, three kilometers northeast of Herat, Afghanistan. The Historic Cities Programme of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture has initiated repairs on the complex since 2005. The shrine was erected by architect Qavam al-Din of Shiraz in 1425, in Herat, Afghanistan. Patron of this monument is Shah Rukh, ruler of the Timurid dynasty. He commissioned the site as a memorial mausoleum for patron-saint Khwaja Abdullah Ansari. Abdullah Ansari was both a Sufi mystic and saint of Herat. The Timurids reigned after the collapse of the Mongol empire in 1335. The Mongols were a central Asian ethnographic group, thus the Timurids artistic styles were influenced by their Asiatic traditions. The mausoleum was built for Abd Allah Ansari resting place and the public wished to be buried beside him because they venerated the patron saint. However, commoners were not meant to be buried here and were only meant for those who held elite status within the Islamic society. The graveyard was one of the richest in the east of Herat, and the tombs of a varied populace were embellished with stones of every color and every size. The tombs were designed for princes, dervishes, state officials, soldiers, poets, and others who held a high status in society. Trees surmount the tomb of Abdullah Ansari and north from it stands a tall marble column and headstone erected in his honor. The architect Qavam al-Din Shirazi had traveled from his hometown of Shiraz to the northern parts of Iran. Some of his work during this period includes the madrasa for Shah Rukh at Herat, the congregational mosque for Gawhar Shad at Mashhad, and the madrasa Ghiyathiyah at Khargird. By the time he was commissioned by Shah Rukh to build the shrine, he had developed his own architectural style that integrated Iranian, Turanian, and his own personal stylistic elements. (en)
  • Gazar Gah, noto anche come santuario di Khwaja 'Abd Allah Ansari, è un complesso funebre (hazira) ad Herat, in Afghanistan, che ospita la tomba del mistico sufi e santo Khwajah Abdullah Ansari, noto anche come il guardiano pir (uomo saggio) di Herat. (it)
  • Мавзолей Абдуллаха Анса́ри, также называется Газа́р-Гах — мавзолей в афганском городе Герат, в котором покоится известный персидский поэт и суфий Ходжа Абдуллах ибн Мухаммад Аль-Ансари, родившийся и умерший в Герате. Один из главных ныне сохранившихся архитектурных памятников Герата. Сразу после смерти Абдуллаха Ансари в 1098 году, его могила стала одним из объектов паломничества суннитов в Герат. Позднее над могилой суфия была построена небольшая гробница, а в 1425-1427 годах по инициативе младшего сына Тимураа, правителя империи Тимуридов Шахруха — отца Улугбека, было построено нынешнее здание мавзолея. Мавзолей построен в классическом хорасанском стиле персидской архитектуры, которая доминировала в стиле зданий эпохи Тимуридов. В XX век из-за многочисленных военных действий состояние мавзолея резко ухудшилось. Мавзолей реконструировался в рамках программы по реконструкции исторических городов со стороны Ага-хана IV. (ru)
