Missing - Iran - Sheikh Ahmad-e Jām Khaneghah and Mausoleum Complex (Mazar-e Jām)

Sheikholeslam Abunasr Ahmad-ibn-e-Abolhasan-ebn-e- Ahmad-ibn-e-Mohammad Naameghi-e Jāmi known as Ahmad Zhendepil or Ahmad jām was one of the great Iranian Sufis in the second half of the forth and first half of the fifth century AH. The presence of sheikh and his descendants played a major role in the development of the region, particularly Maˈd Ābād village and its turning into Torbat-e Jām town. Here he built a Khaneghah for teaching and preaching to his followers so that the village became a venue for pilgrims and devotees, which caused its flourishing. The respect for his Gnostic personality led to the construction of more buildings at his shrine and the extension of this Khaneghah regarding its beauty, magnificence and greatness. After training many disciples and attaining the highest mystical and divine authority he passed away in the year 536 AH.
