Sheikh Ahmad-e Jami mausoleum complex ( Persian: مجموعهٔ آرامگاهی شیخ احمد جامی) is a collection of religious buildings, mosques, houses and tombstones all around the central tombstone of Sheikh Ahmad-e Jami, Iranian Muslim sufi who lived between 1048 and 1141 in Torbat-e Jam, Khorasan, Iran. [1]
Entering to the mausoleum is through a wooden door beautifully decorated in Kufic script. [2] The mausoleum complex is over 800 years old. [3]
The shrine complex has now been renovated with private and public funds from Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization. As a shrine for a Sunni Sufi cult, the shrine-complex started sliding into decline when Iran's Shahs took the Shiʿi path in 1501, but is today enjoying a renaissance. Two seminaries ( madrasa) that teach Sunni curricula to males and females have also been added. [4]
