Ali Arslan Khan, Ali ibn Musa was the seventh ruler of the Karakhanids. He was the founder of the Alid line of the Karakhanids. [1]
Almost nothing is known about his reign except his unsuccessful raid into the Kingdom of Khotan in 998. [2] His tomb is located in Ordam Padishah, Yengishahar [2] and was an important mazar shrine and pilgrim site. [3] In September 2020, a report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute on Chinese oppression against the Uyghurs' religious practices stated that the site had been completely destroyed by 2019. [4] Since at least 2000, authorities had prevented mass pilgrimage to the site. [5]
His cousin, Hasan b. Sulayman, gradually became independent of him during his reign.
Family
He had at least five sons: Nasr Khan, Ahmad Toghan Khan, Mansur Arslan Khan, Muhammad and Jafar Tegin.
