Mausoleum of Al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi

The main sacred place of Termez is the Mausoleum of Al-Hakim at-Tirmidhi. This architectural monument was built in the northwest of the old Termez. Abu Abdulloh Ibn Hassan ibn Bashir al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi was the author of a number of religious and philosophical works, a religious leader, an outstanding theorist of Islamic mysticism, a famous scientist and was the founder of the order of the dervishes.

"Hakimi" is considered one of the 12 sects of mysticism. He was buried near the citadel of medieval Termez, possibly not far from khanaka. Later, a mausoleum of baked bricks was built over his grave. It consisted of one room, a portal, and a dome resting on four sturdy arches. The entrance to the Mausoleum was on the south side. At the end of the 11th century, the interior of the mausoleum was richly decorated with carved ganch.

A new small mausoleum was built in 1389-1390. (according to the inscription on the portal). It was located on the east side and adjacent to an ancient tomb. At the end of the 14th century, when the region became part of the empire of Amir Temur, a new tomb was erected near the facade of the mausoleum, and a magnificent white marble sagan tombstone was erected over the grave of the saint, a true masterpiece of ornamental stone-cutting art.

At the beginning of the 15th century, during the reign of Khalil Sultan, grandson of Amir Temur (1405-1409), a khanaka shelter for pilgrims and dervishes was built near the mausoleum.
