        👀 Hello mydears   Welcome to my personal blog 

  
want to share my personal views about Samanids Mausoleum which is one of the gorgeous place in Bukhara.


 History of Samanids Mausoleum
The Samanid Mausoleum is a mausoleum located in the northwestern part of BukharaUzbekistan, just outside its historic center. It was built in the 10th century CE as the resting place of the powerful and influential Islamic Samanid dynasty that ruled the Samanid Empire from approximately 900 to 1000.[1][2] It contained three burials, one of whom is known to have been that of Nasr II.Of all the medieval buildings in Bukhara, the Samanids Mausoleum is of special interest. This world-famous architectural masterpiece was built at the close of the ninth century. The mausoleum was erected as a family crypt immediately after the death of Ismail Samani's father. Later, Ismail himself and his grandson Hasr were also buried in it. It is interesting to note that erecting crypts was against Islamic law at that time, for Islam forbade erecting any post-mortem monuments upon the tombs of Muslim believers. However, the prohibition was broken in the middle of the ninth century by one of the caliphs himself, for whom a special as-Suli-biya Mausoleum was built. Ismail merely followed his example.
