Visiting the grave of their [[Shaykh (sufism)|Shaykh]] and staying there, is among the manners of disciples and believers in him. In ''[[Nafahat al-uns]]'', [['Abd al-Rahman Jami]] lists the graves of Sunni Sufis whose tombs are places people visit to be [[Tabarruk|blessed]] by them, such as [[Ma'ruf Karkhi]] (d. [[200]]/815-16) in [[Baghdad]], [[Ibrahim Satanba al-Harawi]] (alive in 2nd/[[8th century]]) in [[Qazvin]] and [[al-shaykh Baha' al-Din 'Umar]] (d.

Mausoleums in [[Africa]] have been burial places for Sufi leaders and have a place for [[worshipping]] and places for [[reciting the Qur'an]] and staying of visitors which are called Zawiya.
