| Video Discription | We were not allowed to take photos or videos, but i somehow managed to film for a few minutes. The Imam al-Shafi'i was the founder of one of the four rites of Sunni Islam1, and is considered to be one of the great Muslim saints, although no such institution was provided for by the Quran. He was a descendant of the Prophet's uncle, Abu Talib, and came to Egypt in the 9th century. He died in 820 AD and was interred on his side facing Mecca in the Lesser Qarafa of the Southern Cemetery. The mausoleum, with a wooden dome over the grave, was erected in 1211 by al-Malik al-Kamil, whose grave, along with his mother's, is also under this dome and only a few steps away from the Imam's. Adjacent to the Iman's cenotaph is that of Sayyid Muhammad 'abd al-Hakam. It is the first officially sponsored mausoleum to be built for a Sunni theologian after the eviction of the Isma'ili Fatimids from Egypt in 1171. It is also the largest detached mausoleum in Egypt. Paradoxically, the Fatimid practice of building domed mausoleum for 'Alid saints as a means of promoting their Shi'i agenda and gathering popular support for the Fatimid imams was adopted by the same leaders who eradicated all signs of Shi'ism in Egypt. In fact, this mausoleum is regarded as the symbol of the triumph of orthodoxy over heterodoxy. The Ayyubids, who inherited the Seljuq and Zengid legacy of endorsing Sunnism and abolishing all signs of heterodoxy, particularly the Isma'ili doctrine of the Fatimids, used the institution of the madrasa to propagate and disseminate the Sunni law and teachings. It was Saladin who founded the first madrasa, dedicated to the Shafi'i rite near the tomb of its founder, Imam al-Shafi'i. This was a center of a successful missionary effort, which is still predominant in South Arabia, Bahrayn, the Malay Archipelago and East Africa. Ug9txRUdyHo |
