Sheihantaur, the mausoleum of Sheikh Hovendi [1] at-Tahur (purifying), is an architectural monument in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. [2]
Sheikh Hovendi at-Tahur (Sheihantaur) was born at the end of the 13th century. [3] He was a sayyid, meaning that he claimed descent from the Quraish, the tribe of Muhammad. His father, Sheikh Umar, was believed to be a direct descendant of the seventeenth generation of Umar ibn al-Khattab, therefore male members of this family also bore the title of Khoja & Arif (Khwaja). Sheikh Khoja Umar was a sufi and one of the followers of Dervish Hasan Bulgari. He arrived in Tashkent with a mission to disseminate Islam. He then moved to the mountain settlement of Bog-i Ston where he spent the rest of his life. Thus, the birthplace of Sheikh Khoja Hovendi at-Tahur was Bog-i Ston [4] close to the Charvak Lake in the Tashkent Province of Uzbekistan. Young Sheihantaur was initiated into the Yasaviyya order of Dervishes in the town of Yasi (now Turkestan in modern-day Kazakhstan).[ citation needed ]
