On Sunday October 3, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon visited Khatlon’s Khovaling district, according to the Tajik president’s official website.
In Khovaling, Emomali Rahmon visited mazor (the Tajik word mazor is borrowed from Arabic language. Literally meaning "a place for visit") of Hazrat Sultan Uwais al-Qarani, where Tajik leader prayed for peace and tranquility in the country.
Uwais ibn Amir ibn Jaz' ibn Malik al-Qarani, also spelled Uways or Owais, was a Muslim from Yemen who lived during the lifetime of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. His burial place is in Raqqa, Syria. Although he lived during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad, he never physically met him so he is not counted among the Companions of the Prophet. He however met Muhammad's companion Omar and is therefore seen as from among the Tabi'un. Among the Tabi'un he is specially known as Khayr al-Tabi'een (The Best of the Tabi'un) and Sayyid al-Tabi'een Fi Zamanahu (Leader of the Tabi'un of his Era'). His memorial shrine is in al-Raqqah, Syria. It was destroyed by Islamic State terror group in 2013.
