Shah-i Zinda means "the place of the living king" or, in essence, a living sacred site. It's important to note that this area was known as a sacred space even before the Islamic conquests. For the local people living here, each of these hills held tremendous significance. Today, however, it holds a different kind of value. The construction of Shah-i Zinda was actually initiated after Kusam ibn Abbas, a cousin of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), was martyred during the Islamic conquests in this region. His tomb was established here, and over time, the mausoleum continued to expand and develop. See less
